Microsoft today announced a multi-million dollar settlement with French disk replicator MPO Group.
The French company admitted that its Thai subsidiary inadvertently relied on a fake Microsoft licensing agreement, and then replicated thousands of Microsoft server software disks in violation of Microsoft's copyrights and trademarks.
Also as part of the settlement, MPO acknowledged that it had breached the disk replication agreements it had in place with Microsoft. MPO and Microsoft settled the matter without resorting to litigation.
