committing to a contract
Yeah, you're right. Just like MS, Sun signed a contract and
then blatantly violated that contract. Oh wait, that's right,
only MS went back on their word. Funny how you are such
a crusader for honesty and following the law in the p2p
debate, yet in this case you seem to think it's okay for MS
to break their word and wiggle out of things via a
settlement. Shouldn't they go to jail along with the 12
year olds "stealing" music?
