Microsoft Takes Legal Actions to Thwart Software Piracy And Protect Consumers in Illinois, Michigan, Ohio and Oklahoma | |
|
||
| Time: 09:15 EST/14:15 GMT | News Source: Microsoft Press Release | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||
|
Microsoft Corp. today announced legal actions against seven companies in Illinois, Michigan, Ohio and Oklahoma for the alleged distribution of counterfeit software. Microsoft took these actions to help protect consumers and legitimate distributors from the negative impact of software piracy. Consumers who acquire counterfeit software -- either online or from "brick-and-mortar" retailers -- could find that in addition to the increased potential for viruses, such software may be missing key elements, including software code, which could render the program unusable. Consumers with pirated software are also ineligible for technical support, warranty protection or upgrades. | ||
