Meh i'll never understand corporations.

I don't understand that you don't understand this...

For starters they (MS) don't attack at all. It is a standard notice which everybody should get when they leak stuff, no matter who it is. Afterall you are leaking internal information from a coorperation. Companies could sue you for such stuff, luckaly MS doesn't take it that far.

Not at all, not even in the smallest way.

The information was INSIDE information, NOT meant for the outside world. They do not block stuff which is meant for the public, they block stuff which is their own inside information. Major difference.

ANY company would do something about it when information is leaked.

The more stuff is leaked the less chances you will have to know something. It is that easy!

If a company knows that if they give out some information to some trusted people (eg: beta testers, butterflies, ...), it will get leaked, then it is quite obvious that the company wouldn't be so quick anymore to give out some more information.

So blame everybody who ever leaked some information. They are the real reason why MS is keeping their mouth shut and relunctant to give any more information or to give beta testers some news or things to try out.

----------------------------------------------

MS has all the right in the world to send a DMCA notice. In fact, IMO, they don't even do it enough or take it far enough.

It doesn't matter who leaked it, Mess.be or not. There shouldn't be any leaks to begin with. If you are given something in trust then keep it to yourself!!!! Is it that hard to understand?

Leaking is bad, and it is funny how often the same kind of people complain that MS doesn't give beta testers more inside stuff. Well, would you, if you almost know for certain that the info is going to get leaked?? I don't think so....

All those stupid leakers should sleep well in the knowledge that for their 2 seconds of fame they actually punish everybody else and especially those who do know how to keep things given to them in trust and are serious about such stuff.

Well done people.
