The case is that the tool included a full copy of Windows, modified, and apparently with activation removed.

Is still a modified version being distributed but license activation was not circumvented.
This was even explicitly stated in the linked article, but for some reason people keep asserting in this thread that it was a cracked version of windows.
Am I missing something, or are people just making big assumptions and not reading the article?
But that's not what Microsoft is asserting here: the headline (which arguably conveys the main point) says it's about the anti-circumvention clauses of USA's DMCA law.
The problem is that Microsoft didn't make a take down request based one them distributing ISO files. But based on them "disabling features in windows" in that ISO files.
