Microsoft is a closed society of evil-doers who don't believe in sharing. They want to crush any attempts to download free music or DVD's and make everyone pay for their crappy operating systems that are riddled with errors and security flaws. Their eventual goal is to close down libraries because that is a form of piracy in their closed mind-set. As opposed to open-source.
