Hey guys, This page might be worth a look, so......have a look. I am looking right now, and if what this guy says about the license agreement to M$ services, it's time to be very, very afraid. ----- Forwarded message from Christopher Browne <cbbrowne at localhost.brownes.org> ----- To: discuss at ntlug.org The following just came across the LPI mailing list; apparently Microsoft is claiming that anything that is transmitted through one of their services will be treated as being "Copyright Microsoft." - If you send a business plan via Hotmail? Microsoft owns it. - If you send love notes to a significant other? Microsoft has the right to republish, publicly display, transfer, or sell such communication. Gotta love it... ------- Forwarded Message Date: Tue, 3 Apr 2001 00:15:54 -0400 (EDT) From: Chuck Mead <csm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: LPI Discuss <lpi-discuss at lpi.org> Subject: [OT] Microsoft should be feared and despised!
