In the mid-1990s, I was asked to compose a short piece of music for Microsoft’s Windows 95 operating system. Millions – possibly even billions – of people have since heard that short start-up chime—which represented a gateway to a promising technological future. I gladly took on the project as a creative challenge and enjoyed the interaction with my contacts at the company. We now live in an age where corporations like Microsoft often command more influence than governments. Accordingly, I call on Microsoft to suspend all services that support any operations that contribute to violations of international law.
