Like the fist of an angry god

That's what it's going to feel like when you're sued by Microsoft. They're essentially a defacto government with an incredible array of resources available to them, like very predatory lawyers.

The crux of the issue for 3 doomed souls in the U.S. is 'click fraud' - manipulating online ads to generate fraudulent revenue. Apparently one in every seven clicks isn't legit and Microsoft has decided that an example needs to be made.

Personally I'd rather have the U.S. government after me than Microsoft.
