The Business Software Alliance (aka the BSA) has far too much time on their hands. The group is one of the leading fighters of software piracy, but they’re a bunch of morons. This quote from this Register story is great: “The Business Software Alliance has pulled off an astonishing anti-piracy coup, identifying a major European university as a distribution hub for… OpenOffice.org.”
For those who don’t know, OpenOffice is an Open-Source (read: free) office suite with many of the same features of Microsoft’s Office suite. Anybody can freely download and distribute it.
The automated anti-piracy bots discovered this “infringing content” after staring at it for a few months, wondering what the heck it was. The FTP’s site owner was e-mailed, and hilarity ensued.
