Microsoft convicted of software piracy | |
|

| Time: 10:12 EST/15:12 GMT | News Source: VNUNet | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

Microsoft was found guilty of software piracy last year by a French court, according to facts unearthed today by the geek community. But the Redmond giant's conviction and three million franc (285,000) fine somehow managed to escape the headlines. In fact, until today the only place the story has appeared is in French newspaper Le Monde Informatique. And the only person who noticed the irony of the world's most aggressive anti-piracy firm being fined for piracy was Peruvian congressman Edgar David Villanueva Nunez. Nunez inadvertently became a hero of the open source movement last month when he penned a letter to Juan Alberto Gonzalez, general manager of Microsoft Peru, arguing that the free software model does not break any intellectual property laws. | ||
