Brilliant, that Bill Gates quote!
And the best thing of it all is that Microsofts response to the drug-dealer statement will make more people aware of their questionable business practices. MS is doing our p.r. for us.

Hello folks. Do anyone has a Portuguese / pt_BR_lawyerese link to the referred PDF? My EN lawyerese is not good enough to understand which (specific) kind of action is this.
Anyway, it's controversial in our case law if firms can be in the passive pole of "Defamation" crime, which seems to be one of the bases for this.
Can anyone help me here?

Granted, but here it is more of a pressure tatic of menace than a real threat of being eventually convicted.
