I appologize in advance for the sillines of this question. An aquaintence claims that after accessing the Internet, his "unregistered " copy of Office XP disappeared from hi hard drive without a trace (no icons, Program Files folder, etc., just like a clean uninstall). I think he nuked it himself by accident.

I know Digital Millenium in theory gave record companies the right to hack into your hard drive and erase .MP3s. Has anbody heard anything about Bill putting a bot on the Internet to uninstall unlicensed software? I told you it was a silly question.
