[ubuntu-uk] Movie pirate forced to use Windows
Hi folks, I have just seen an article on The Register about someone who was sharing a copy of Star Wars via Bit torrent before it was released. It turns out he uses Ubuntu but has now been given the option of either not using his PC online or installing Windows to use the court ordered monitoring software. Don't get me wrong, he was sharing a movie illegally, but being forced to run Windows just so the monitoring softare will run seems a bit harsh.
