Fatwa Issued Against Software Piracy

Louis Lingg writes "law.com has posted an article reporting that after lobbying by the Business Software Alliance, clerics at Egypt's Al Azhar in Cairo have issued a fatwa against software piracy. The edict was pronounced by Sheikh Ibrahim Atta Allah, the highest religious authority in Sunni Islam.

Ironically, muftis at Al Azhar have also been urging a boycott of American goods and services."
