Microsoft Declares October 21 as Anti Piracy Day

Microsoft is celebrating October 21 as Global Anti-Piracy Day but contrary to what you may think, this event is not all about educating consumers the ill-effects of software piracy.

Microsoft will instead use this as a platform to step up legal action against software pirates though raids by local law enforcement agencies and by filing civil cases against pirates across the globe. Details here.

The only one loosing $$ in this whole effort is Microsoft.

Its spending money to catch people(aka pirates) stealing the money.

so they’re spending the money anyway ! (just hope that what they spend is much less to what they gain of this whole effort)

Well, that was supposed to be a link to ‘talk like a pirate day’ - link

It seems like Microsoft would have a little more trouble finding the people who pirate their software, as opposed to the recording industry. It’s a losing battle for sure.
