yahoo actually is one of the worst offenders when it comes to
protection of copyright. their auction service is a virtual clearing
house for pirated software and any and all correspondence directed
their way in an effort to get them to solve this problem is largely
ignored. i was "pirate hunter" for adaptec for about a year and when
we discovered the software, we wrote them numerous times trying to
get them to stop the offenders and got absolutely nothing in return.
and in that situation, we're talking about a very obvious case of
infringement. it is my understanding that they've been taken to
court by other companies for this.
bottom line: no one's getting busted here.
