    Haven't those two had some problems with each others apps in the past?
    Sunbelt's vipre or counterspy trying to interfere with mbam's updates or
    mbam calling false positives on the sunbelt apps?

    Maybe as they got together and worked out those problems, they decided
    to do more together.

    I suppose there have been issues, as there have been incompatability problems
    with MBAM and other AV apps.

    The Press Release is calling is a partnership, this may be a polite way of saying
    that SunBelt bought out MBAM, I cannot speak to this, as this just happened of
    late. If I have anything else I will post it.

    Does this mean that we will finally see a law suit along the lines of
    MBAM (Sunbelt) vs PC-Butts over software / code / copyright
    infringement?

    Looks like Sunbelt might have some real money behind them...

    Do Americans get lessons in how to sue people?

    This really is the most boring long abused subject in this group.
    The reason given by all the regulars for posting about pcbutts is to
    warn others of his bad (and copied) code.
    This is so far from the truth. His name is in almost every thread and
    rarely is he the first one to bring it up.

    As for copyright infringement, None of you ever do this. Do you?
    No "copied" images? No "copied" movies? No "copied" music?
    Must be so great being perfect.

    Time to either put up or shut up, or is the sheep going to keep calling
    wolf.
    Either way, sue or not. I don't give a care one way or the other. But if
    not, change the record.

    In the UK there is not one thing anyone here could have seen legal
    action taken for (including Civil action). Well except for the one
    person who made threats of violence against pcbutts (I expect this was
    just to warn people away from using his code, hey?). That is illegal
    here and I am sure is in the USA too.
    But no-one in the UK would care to even bother about it (unless maybe
    they had watched a little too much US TV). Sticks and stones and all
    that!
