RE: Wired News: Orrin Hatch: Software Pirate?
Topic: Society 3:57 pm EDT, Jun 25, 2003

===Milonic's Woolley said the senator's unlicensed use of his software was just "the tip of the iceberg." He said he knows of at least two other senators using unlicensed copies of his software, and many big companies.

Continental Airlines, for example, one of the largest airlines in the United States, uses Woolley's system throughout its Continental.com website. Woolley said the airline has not paid for the software. Worse, the copyright notices in the source code have been removed.
===================

I think this is the most interesting part of the article. I hope this sends a signal to Congress about how ridiculous copyright legislation and software prices are.
