Microsoft will join Keystone Information Services Group's two directors - brothers Matthys and Lambertus Hechter - in their personal capacities, following a court order for the business to pay Microsoft R1.1 million in damages for infringing the software company's copyright. This arose out of a High Court action against Keystone for hard disk loading Microsoft software onto 347 computers, which the company then sold to the Mpumalanga Department of Education. Hard disk loading is when a company buys one licence of an operating system or application and copies it onto numerous computers.
