    The whole big tech ethos is to figure out the intersection of against-the-spirit-of-the-law and within-the-letter-of-the-law, and colonize the fuck out of that spot.

    So they’ll probably just create a replica through means that allow them to claim they didn’t use his likeness directly, and call it “Rodert Upney Sr.”

      God, this is so painfully true. Microsoft really set the precedent for the industry, often straying over the line into illegality; if Bush hadn’t given directions that resulted in the ruling being overturned, they’d be several smaller companies now, and without their near-monopoly.

      Fucking Bush.
