In Response To: It's sad that it has come to this. (NsU Soldier)

: This is a pretty early leak, I can't help but wonder what MS did to help
: prevent it. Obviously it wasn't a very robust system. And now, loads of
: innocent people caught in the crossfire are paying the price.
Its not strictly that the system must not be robust, its just that if hackers are determined to do something, they usually succeed eventually.
Y'know, I think some of us are probably underestimating these people the same way MS did.
'Oh they got it, the security must have been crap.' etc
It wasn't stolen within minutes, it took a fair few days.
The lesson to be learnt is that digital distribution is a trade-off. They were hoping to save some money by not sending out advance copies to the press. It may have back fired.
