Microsoft Sues Viodentia (FairUse4WM) for Copyright Infringement

· devz3ro on September 27 2006 07:29:07

Microsoft has filed a federal lawsuit against an alleged hacker who broke through its copy protection technology, charging that the mystery developer somehow gained access to its copyrighted source code.

For more than a month, the Redmond, Wash., company has been combating a program released online called FairUse4WM, which successfully stripped anticopying guards from songs downloaded through subscription media services such as Napster or Yahoo Music. Microsoft has released two successive patches aimed at disabling the tool. The first worked--but the hacker, known only by the pseudonym "Viodentia," quickly found a way around the update, the company alleges. Now the company says this was because the hacker had apparently gained access to copyrighted source code unavailable to previous generations of would-be crackers.

However, the federal "John Doe" lawsuit, along with "dozens" of legal letters sent to Internet sites that are hosting the allegedly copyright-infringing tool, is a decidedly different tack for Microsoft. The copyright lawsuit was filed in Seattle federal court last Friday, without a name attached. Just as in the recording industry's many lawsuits against accused file swappers, it targets an unknown individual or individuals, whose true identity will be sought in the course of the case.

I know, wow power leveling the time we've taken implementing this is pretty inexcusable. But that doesn't mean we can't make wow power leveling a big fuss about it when it gets here!
You can now adjust wow power leveling the level of an heirloom item in the tooltip, and the stats will world of warcraft gold automatically update. You can do this with heirloom items just like you could with items best wow gold like Cryptfiend Silk Cloak, which have combat ratings. Heirlooms default to level 80, but you can see them at any level with cheapest wow gold just a click!
Also, if you're messing with the Profiler, your heirloom stats will automatically adjust to match the level of the character you're editing. This is especially awesome if you're editing a custom profile, as you can change your level around at will and watch your stats update in real time.
