Wow, this seems like a fantastic idea if your goal is

from his job/sued.
Muse makes interesting, helpful products, has a lot of valuable IP
invested
in computer audio production, and as a result of this

are about to institute a corporate policy dictating

never
contribute any of that knowledge to public forums such
as this.
Just to make this clear, I am not shooting at Muse, but at Pace, the
manufacturer of this so called iLok, which doesn't seem to be really
interested in free software anyways. And there obviously doesn't seem to be
any kind of "hesitation in further participation in the linux/open source
community" when the first thing you do is threaten someone of a lawsuit for
a post that *honestly doesn't contain any kind of useful intel*...
Reading the so called offending thread and not top-posting would help
before posting in this very interesting flamewar :D
