MS Crackdown on Fake Software

[bambbbam]

Very interesting.. I'm surprised they actually mention their enay usernames.



MICROSOFT has cracked down on Australians who sell counterfeit software on internet auction sites, and the investigations have resulted in settlements with 10 local sellers for copyright infringement.

Earlier this year, Microsoft investigators posed as buyers interested in "high-quality counterfeit software" -- including versions of Windows XP, Microsoft Office 2003 and Microsoft Office 2007 -- from 10 suspected sellers on internet auction websites such as eBay and Oztion.

Microsoft said the sellers were Jordan Andrews, who trades on eBay as "thebigcoos"; Nicholas Todd Courter, who trades on eBay as "hardpunter"; Rania Elbadar, who trades on Oztion as "bargain-buys4u"; Jack Koncewiczw, who trades on Oztion as "big-mucho" and "matt-coins"; Nessreen Omar, who traded on eBay as "amelia007"; Kelly Gilham, who traded as "Kellymgsheba"; Timothy Inman, who trades on eBay as "in.dvd" and "red.tech"; Matthew Stephen Anderson, who trades on eBay as "quickseller1982"; Nilesh Patel, who traded on eBay as "nileshapatel143"; and Norizan Mohamd, who trades on eBay as "unistore08".

Microsoft's outside counsel sent a letter of demand to each of the sellers, outlining the right to claim for copyright infringement.

All the sellers admitted they had infringed copyright and agreed to settle. Microsoft said it was paid more than $38,000 in damages.
