Viodentia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Viodentia is the software hacker pseudonym of the entity that created the FairUse4WM program that breaks copy protection technology used by popular legal download sites such as Rhapsody, Yahoo Music, and Napster[1]. Microsoft has already filed a federal lawsuit against the real "Viodentia" in the hopes that the real person(s) can be identified. Viodentia defends him/her/their-self by publishing the following via the internet: "FairUse4WM has been my own creation, and has never involved Microsoft source code," the developer wrote. "I link with Microsoft's static libraries provided with the compiler and various platform SDK (software development kit) files.".
Microsoft said that they had expected to track down Viodentia by January 24th 2007:[2] Currently, however, this person has not been identified.
Microsoft, unable to locate the person or persons known as Viodentia, has dropped their suit without prejudice.
According to an interview with Engadget, "Viodentia" does not live in the United States of America
