New Media Player escapes Windows | |

Microsoft is taking legal action against Web sites circulating a rogue version of Windows Media Player 8. The Redmond, Wash.-based software maker started issuing letters late Monday demanding Web sites pull down a supposed beta, or trial version, of the software. "We first contacted all the Web sites that have the bits up there right now with (warnings) of legal action to remove it immediately," said Dave Fester, Microsoft's general manager for digital media. "We started doing that last night. I'm sure they will be more than eager to comply." But CNET News.com easily found, downloaded and tested a copy of the streaming and multimedia player program Tuesday afternoon. Many of the Web sites apparently are operating overseas and out of Microsoft's immediate reach. | ||
