"The fact that there's some e-mail here at MS that says, 'let's go up and beat this guy'...there's nothing wrong with that. That is capitalism at work for consumers." -- Bill Gates Summary : Now that Mr. Lundgren is out of prison he's able to tell his amazing story, which Microsoft desperately attempted to suppress J UST over a week ago we began writing about Microsoft's legal attacks on Eric Lundgren, who had been released from prison. We've been studying the case and we're speaking to Lundgren these days. He's a kind, generous person. He deserves medals, not lawsuits and jail time. This whole situation is a travesty and there's so much to be said, so we'll split the story into many parts. For more background see Eric Lundgren's Twitter account (old news/clippings) and Web site, which includes the section "How does copying free-to-download software land you in prison?" "The total cost (to Lundgren) by far exceeds a million dollars if one considers the long-term consequences e.g. employment prospects."
