  In unusual move, Microsoft takes unnamed Comcast customer to court for piracy
Time: 14:08 EST/19:08 GMT | News Source: Digital Bits | Posted By: Byron Hinson

Microsoft is taking legal action against an unnamed Comcast subscriber for pirating its software. The case, which was filed in a federal court in Washington State, is unusual as the company typically doesn’t pursue these types of piracy cases. According to the papers obtained by Torrent Freak, a Comcast account was used to pirate copies of Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Server and Office 10. Microsoft has not identified the person (or persons) that owns the account, but has the person’s IP address, and is now requesting a subpoena from the court to identify this person. The IP address at the center of the action (173.11.224.197) is allegedly based in Houston, Texas.
