By now, we’re all familiar with Microsoft’s recent move to shut down Canadian teen Mike Rowe’s MikeRoweSoft.com domain (they eventually settled for simply bribing him to take it down on his own). Still, I can’t help but wonder if Mike decided launched a website dedicated to samples of his writing — without metrical structure, mind you — would he have to worry about similar legal action from computer game publisher MicroProse?

I know, I know…it would have been funnier a week ago. And it really helps if you happen to be a computer geek.
