Microsoft sues 117 over 'phishing'


Microsoft sues 117 over 'phishing' 03/31/2005 05:03 PM
Microsoft Corp. has filed 117 lawsuits against unknown Internet site operators who used "phishing" schemes to obtain personal and financial information from unsuspecting consumers, the world's largest software maker said on Thursday. Often scam artists pose as banks or other legitimate businesses, sending out millions of e-mails or pop-up Web advertisements with requests that the recipient update their account information but instead direct them to fake sites.

Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft said it was filing "John Doe" defendant lawsuits in U.S. District Court in Washington state in an attempt to establish connections between worldwide "phishers" and discover the largest-volume operators. "We must work together to stop these con artists from misusing the Internet as a tool for fraud," Aaron Kornblum, Internet safety enforcement attorney at Microsoft, said in a statement.

Apple a Monopoly?


Apple a Monopoly? 01/06/2005 12:06 PM

Apparently Apple isn't just taking people to court, they're also being sued by an unhappy iTMS customer. It seems Thomas Slattery is being "forced" to buy an iPod if he wants to use the songs he purchased from the iTunes Music Store. Last I checked you could listen to any song from the iTMS either on your PC or burn it to a CD. Truth be told, he could burn it to a CD and then rip it back and listen to it on whatever MP3 player he wanted.

"Apple has unlawfully bundled, tied, and/or leveraged its monopoly in the market for the sale of legal online digital music recordings to thwart competition in the separate market for portable hard drive digital music players, and vice-versa," the suit charged.

To follow this logic is like saying I could sue Microsoft because they don't publish their entire software catalog for Linux or OS X. I'm being "forced" to buy a PC with Windows on it. Should I be able to sue simply because I can't run Access on my Mac? Hmmm... We'll see how Mr. Slattery fares at his attempt before I send lawyers to Redmond.
