Dilbert shills for the BSA
Phil notes that Scott Adams not only produces Dilbert toons of uneven quality, he also shills for the loathsome Business Software Alliance, a Microsoft front that uses paid informants and automated takedown notices to censor the Internet and cook up fake numbers on "piracy losses" that treat every single unpaid-for software install as a lost sale at full retail (yes, they also do some legit license-enforcement, and aren't as unreasonable as the entertainment industry, but their methodologies are still unforgivably unsavory).
