Wait a second. It is the very bad coding that allows these security holes that are exploited by other code. For to long Microsoft has had a nice little word that places the blame on others. "Viruses" are examples of code that exploit bad code from Microsoft. What happens if someone doesn't pass WGA but still has a legitimate copy? They get the pleasure of suffering the mistakes Microsoft made.
In Canada the levy on recordable media was supposed to be the way to end the problem of copyright owners getting paid for their work. But instead of it being a solution, all it has done is make those same copyright holders want more. They will never be satisfied until they have sucked every last dollar from the public.
Never mind that one of the main problems is that some of the material they create is worthless commercially. All they think they have to do is create something, wait, and watch the riches come rolling in. What is even worse that the recording companies, not the creators are the ones profiting. Propping up failing business models by raping the public. Trying to sell the same old packaged media that no one wants, and whose quality diminishes each day. Look alike , and sound alike artists that do not give anyone a reason to spend good hard earned money. It is no wonder that consumers are downloading media first.

It only goes to show that the recording industry is never satisfied.
