Boing Boing Threatened By Zhidkov

in: Breakthrough Thinking

A company that was criticized on Boing Boing has threatened to sue me,
and claims to have sworn out a complaint against me with the FBI.

Yesterday, I posted about StarForce, a harmful
technology used by game companies to restrict their customers’ freedom.
StarForce attempts to stop game customers from copying their property,
but it has the side-effects of destabilizing and crashing the computers
on which it is installed.

Someone identifying himself as "Dennis Zhidkov,
PR-manager, StarForce Inc." contacted me this morning and threatened to
sue me, and told me that he had contacted the FBI to complain about my
"harassment."
