The same lawyers that sued Sony over the rootkit CD fiasco have now turned their gaze on Microsoft, and its Genuine Advantage anti-piracy tool. The tool phones home daily via your broadband connection, activity Microsoft dubs "a safety measure designed to allow the tool - to quickly shut down in case of a malfunction." The lawyers disagree, and say the software is largely spyware that users were given no choice in installing, reports the Seattle Post Intelligencer.

Please check out the FULL article. I do not like the fact I am updating Genuine Advantage EVERY other day. I find that shit annoying. I hate it when Microsoft gets sued, but there has to be a better way.
