From the Silly-Lawyers Dept.

MacSlash, a slashcode based Mac site, posted the following humorous but stupid item on their site today.
...Microsoft lawyers contacted digital.forest, our hosting provider, with a cute little email demanding an "immediate take-down" of MacSlash for infringing activity... It seems that several (and by several, we mean 8) months ago an anonymous commenter posted a comment which contained a purported serial number for Longhorn. The comment was rated -1 and until yesterday those of us who administer MacSlash were completely unaware of it lurking there in our archives.

Their provider declined Microsoft's request to take-down MacSlash, which I'm sure will earn points in the hearts of geeks everywhere.
