[News] Windows Genuine Advantage Cracked

It seems like the actual site was intercepted as it returns a 404 at the
moment, which indicates the page was removed to survive the "Digg Effect",
or even getting in trouble [1].

One sometimes wonders if WGA is intentionally made easy to crack. It is a
known fact that Windows survives owing to piracy [2,3].

(I will omit his/her full name) no longer publishes it:
