A loss for the MPAA is a win for everyone so this makes me smile :thumbup

"Ubuntu developer Matthew Garrett has succeeded in getting the MPAA to remove their 'University Toolkit' after claims it violated the GNU GPL. After several unsuccessful attempts to contact the MPAA directly, Garrett eventually emailed the group's ISP and the violating software was taken down."

the spyware in question was previously available at:
http://universitytoolkit.org/

I know they'll just put the thing back up sooner or later and they never stopped suing 14 year olds and threatening grandmas pension but fo the next 5 minutes at least, im counting it as a win.
