Fair use once it's posted on the web? Thank you very much for the framework to pirate anything and everything.

Microsoft would prefer that you pirate Windows rather than use Linux, as it further entrenches their dominance in the market.

They mainly make their money off of business licenses anyway, similar to Adobe and Autodesk.

There's a reason massgravel's scripts are hosted on Microsoft's GitHub platform and hasn't been taken down.

If that’s the case, then why not release a free home version??

They already have a free version of Windows. Just don't activate it.

My one dark hope is AI will be enough of an impetus for somebody to update DMCA

If that gets updated, then it will favor big corporations.

Only because our “representatives” let them write the law entirely. Imagine if Congress wasn’t filled to the brim with 80 year old fundraisers…
