A computer user is suing Microsoft Corp. over the company's Windows Genuine Advantage anti-piracy tool, alleging that it violates laws against spyware.

The suit by Los Angeles resident Brian Johnson, filed this week in U.S. District Court in Seattle, seeks class-action status for claims that Microsoft didn't adequately disclose details of the tool when it was delivered to PC users through the company's Automatic Update system.

Good luck guy... except the MS EULA says they can screw you however they want.

piratePenguin:
I'd like to see some relevant quotes from the EULA... EDIT: or maybe I should read the article...

Good luck guy either way.

worker201:
Can't this fuck think of anything better than a lawsuit?  If a high-publicity fake trial is the only way to make any changes, then we're pretty much fucked already, and might as well enjoy ourselves.  Pass the gravy!
