Flutterby™! : Sterling Ball on Open Source

Via RC3: An interview with Sterling Ball, CEO of Ernie Ball, a guitar string manufacturer ("the world's leading") that was nailed for piracy:

Q: Can you start by giving us a brief rundown of how you became an open-source advocate?
A: I became an open-source guy because we're a privately owned company, a family business that's been around for 30 years, making products and being a good member of society. We've never been sued, never had any problems paying our bills. And one day I got a call that there were armed marshals at my door talking about software license compliance... I thought I was OK; I buy computers with licensed software. But my lawyer told me it could be pretty bad.
