Fucked up people kill people, not religions or systems of government.

National Socialism was created by a fucked up guy as an excuse to kill people.  Seems like it worked for a few years.

yes, but you'd be pretty naive to assume religions or systems of governments don't inspire murder, etc.

The arrogance embedded in the religion or system of government is what inspires murder.

You might be right about that, Joe.

I'd have to say it was.  Socialism predominantly is an economic system; it doesn't not prescribe whether nationalism must play a part.  In the case of the Nazis, it was socialism that played predominantly into nationalism.  That nationalism was used as fuel for a lot of bad stuff.

nice!  Are you contacting a lawyer to see what your options are, or did Microsoft schedule an appointment with one of their corporate lawyers?

To see what my options are.  Again, Microsoft isn't the offending party here.

Update: My lawyer said that I should register the copyright as soon as possible, but that he certainly thinks that the company should be responsive.  We're waiting til Friday to see if they answer, and if not I'm supposed to basically tell them, "Hey, I'm reminding you that you did this and also letting you know I got an attorney."
