Hehe, dit is wel grappig . Billie stuurt een paar Microserfs richting San Francisco City Hall om daar een actie te houden tegen het illegaal kopiëren van (Microsoft) zachtwaar, waarbij het de bedoeling was dat mensen hun illegale waren konden inleveren, in ruil voor een legale licentie (met de ingeleverde software wilde Billy dan middels de serials de originele koper gaan tracken of zoiets). De actie werd weer eens een doorslaand succes [NOT]

Microsoft Corp. attorney Anne Murphy was hoping people who were using pirated software would drop on by Justin Herman Plaza to turn in their illegal booty.But to perhaps nobody's surprise but her own, yesterday's mildly publicized ``Ask If It Is Licensed'' event did not draw one single repentant soul.
There were plenty of folks who came for the free T-shirts and free software. And at least one man was more concerned about a different sort of intergalactic fraud.
Maybe Microsoft should have called the event ``Ask, But Don't Tell.''
``We're disappointed,'' said Murphy, the chief anti-piracy enforcement official for the Redmond, Wash., software colossus. She said a similar event in San Diego drew about 40 computer sellers who wanted to see if their software was legit, and ``the vast majority was counterfeit.''
