MCP Magazine | at | by Mike
Microsoft this week cracked down on U.S. resellers distributing pirated software by simultaneously filing federal lawsuits against 20 companies that the software giant alleged were distributing "counterfeit or infringing" software.
Microsoft positioned the filings as being "part of Microsoft's commitment to honest and legitimate resellers in the channel." The company stated in a news release that it is "working to take the economic advantage out of dealing in pirated software."
