I just think it's funny. Microsoft is notoriously shady about everything, even when you purchase the stuff leagally. I really hate micrsoft, but i love windows... it's an odd feeling...

It validates my theory that the legal system can work. All it takes is time, effort, and a good head on your shoulders.

As did I. It's really nice to finally see the little guy sticking it to "the man".

I love this:
Quote:
But Zamos made one mistake. He wasn't, in fact, a licensed "qualified end user," because he'd never signed the agreement that would allow him to resell his software. And he couldn't sign the agreement until he loaded the software.
He turned his mistake back on Microsoft, however, accusing it of deceptive sales practices, since the agreement had essentially been hidden from him. "How could I sign the agreement if I'd never opened the software? It didn't make any sense," he says.
He also claimed that he'd followed the resale policies publicly posted by Microsoft, and that he wasn't responsible if he violated any rules it failed to mention.
Microsoft responded by ridiculing Zamos's counterclaim as "premature," noting that he had requested a summary judgment without enough time for discovery. Obviously, the company's lawyers hadn't anticipated a fight.
Zamos went back to the drawing board and made two more motions, accusing Microsoft of perjury, causing him emotional distress, defamation, unconscionable consumer practices, abuse of process, fraud, and more.
The suit spiraled into a dizzying 37 filings. Every time Microsoft filed a motion to dismiss his claims, Zamos would file more the very next day. Not only did he force Microsoft to defend its accusations against him, but the company was now forced to defend its own practices as well.
After two months of back-and-forth filings, the judge ordered both sides to stop submitting any more paperwork.

In other words, a s***load of money. But yeah it CAN work! I really wonder how much was invested by that guy in all that case to make it to the point where he made it.

well since he did everything himself it was free, aside from the $40 worth of copies which he was reimbursed for...so didn't cost him a dime really, just time and effort.
