It does appear that Lundgren is overstating things in the interview he gives, especially this part: Lundgren gave an interesting interview with the Verge explaining his position on all of this, while Microsoft - feeling the heat from multiple stories criticizing its role in the prosecution - put out a somewhat scathing blog post from VP Frank Shaw insisting everyone has this wrong, and presenting an argument that Lundgren was a low down dirty pirate who is pulling the wool over everyone’s eyes. The goal was to get these refurbishers so they could put them in the boxes and then consumers down the road could repair the problem.įrom the details in the case, it clearly was intended to be a money-making venture. Indeed, that’s what Microsoft focuses on heavily in its version of the story. It highlights email evidence in the case of Lundgren emailing with his partner/co-defendant in the case where, multiple times, he talks about how they’re in business together to make money (and getting frustrated when they weren’t actually making money). Microsoft (and some of its… rather vocal supporters…) argue that this is all proof that Lundgren is full of shit and just a common criminal pirate. #DISCLABEL SOFTWARE BY SMILE FOR WINDOWS FULL# ![]() In our original post, we talked about the difference between the copyright, the software, the license, and the disc. A few years ago, we noted that copyright system supporters have spent decades blurring the lines between “the copyright” and “the content.” This plays out in all sorts of funny ways, including whether or not selling a piece of content is considered a sale or a license. In this case, the situation is fairly similar.Īs we’ve pointed out in the past, copyright proponents use a sort of Schrodinger’s Download setup, whereby they call it a sale or a license (and deny it’s the other) depending on which benefits them more. The fact that Lundgren was hoping to profit from selling convenience to refurbishing/repair shops does not, automatically, mean he broke the law. But many people seem to think that the profit motive alone proves the copyright infringement. #DISCLABEL SOFTWARE BY SMILE FOR WINDOWS LICENSE#īut… used book stores are for-profit entities selling copyright-protected materials all the time (without a license from copyright holder), and no one is locking them up as criminals. That’s not to say that Lundgren did the same thing as a used bookstore dealer, but merely to point out that the profit-motive alone does not prove infringement. Here, again, part of the issue is in how stupid copyright makes everything. #DISCLABEL SOFTWARE BY SMILE FOR WINDOWS LICENSE#. ![]()
