Anyone else read this? This is just....yeah, well, read it:

Free software is illegal!...

It's not said anywhere that it's illegal. What's said by the Trading Standards officer basically amounts to "Oh damn, you mean we actually have to have a clue about copyright instead of telling people to blithely assume that all software is over-restricted proprietary crap? I don't think we can handle that."

Good point, I believe the blog I received the original link from used the word first, but placing blame somewhere else is always fun. Heh.

It sounds to me like this woman was just PMSing and didn't have anyone else to rag on.
