Two friends of mine have had the msg from MS. Seems they are waging war against the 'criminals' who are doing this. I wonder if they can win because if they get it wrong and block a genuine user they could be in serious trouble.
I don't much mind them stopping piracy but they have to do it right. The rights of an individual could easily be impinged by what appears to a be some kind of invasion of privacy.
Dunno! Wait and see.
