Microsoft plans to file more than 50 lawsuits worldwide against online merchants who allegedly peddle counterfeit software on popular auction sites, the software giant said Monday.
The actions include 15 lawsuits in the U.S., 10 in Germany, 10 in the Netherlands, and five each in France and the United Kingdom, Microsoft said. Additional cases are being filed in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Korea and Poland, the company said.
"This is a worldwide enforcement against sellers of counterfeit software on online auction sites," said Matt Lundy, a senior attorney at Microsoft. "We're finding more and more that auction sites are becoming a popular way for counterfeiters to distribute counterfeit software to consumers."

I'm still mad, I sold my roxio 6 on ebay and the guy is making and selling copies on ebay and it is registered in my name. I asked him to sell it back after I learned what he does, and he made a copy and mailed it to me.
If I was to ever see someone selling my DVDs I would kill. |
