Boing Boing Threatened With Legal Action by StarForce

Website Boing Boing was threatened with legal action by StarForce, the makers of this heinous malware that mucks up your computer when it self-installs beside a game you've purchased. Claiming harassment, a PR representative from StarForce allegedly contacted the FBI about Boing Boing's piece. In other news, telling the truth is apparently harassment, when your company is making some janky-ass spyware.
