Microsoft to describe anti-piracy campaign
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
Microsoft will detail for the first time Tuesday the extent of its efforts to cut back on software piracy, explaining how in the past 30 days alone, the company has started either education campaigns or legal actions in 49 countries.
Whereas Microsoft continuously targets software piracy, David Finn, the company's associate general for worldwide anti-piracy and anti-counterfeiting, said work has intensified as cooperation with government authorities increased.
"I don't think there is anything special about the timing" of the announcement, he said. "This is our effort to show how a comprehensive collaborative approach is fundamental to address piracy."
