This is BS as far as the so called losses are concerend. I guess Bill isn't as rich as he could be, instead of 60 billion he could have 100 billiion or so, poor guy.

Wow.  So what's the rule here?  If you feel a person has enough money it is okay to steal from him?   Aren't the jails full of people who had the same ideals?

Now where have I heard this before?  Oh, that's right ... from the Liberals.

While I agree with your sentiment, you're using the wrong word here. It isn't "theft." Bill has not been deprived of anything, nor has something that was once his been taken and he no longer has the use of it.

The correct term for this crime is "copyright infringement." They have copied published works and resold them for a profit without any royalties going back to Redmond.
