Further evidence of Microsoft's uncanny knack for publicity is provided by the story of a Canadian victim of the company's anti-piracy campaign. According to Canadian newswire CP Wire, 41 year old disabled mother of four Brenda Avery found herself on the receiving end of the full might of the Redmond SWAT team and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. She defended herself against charges of selling counterfeit Microsoft software (just a couple of packages proven out of stock of 800, apparently), succeeded, and now is demanding compensation and a phone call from Bill Gates. | ||
