Microsoft announced in a press release today that October 21st is now Global Anti-Piracy Day. In celebration of this feat, and to lend weight to this international hammering of pirates, MS is also launching "education initiatives and enforcement actions in 49 countries on six continents" to combat the reportedly devastating effects of piracy on the global digital media markets.
[quote]Software piracy and counterfeiting is a sophisticated, global trade with a damaging impact on consumers, businesses and economies, and Microsoft is committed to working with others around the world to stay a step ahead of this illegal industry,” said David Finn, associate general counsel for Worldwide Anti-Piracy and Anti-Counterfeiting at Microsoft. “In partnership with national governments, local law enforcement agencies, and our customer and partner communities, Microsoft is driving anti-piracy efforts across countries and continents through an equally sophisticated system of business intelligence, forensics and education. Together, we are working to identify international connection points between software pirates and counterfeiters, to help stop them in their tracks and protect consumers and legitimate businesses from this illegal trade.[/quote] Read the rest of Microsoft's press release here: http://www.microsoft.com/…08/oct08/10-20GAPDPR.mspx |
