Global Anti-Piracy Day

Today is Global Anti-Piracy Day hosted by Microsoft. Anti-Piracy Day's goal is to educated people about illegal, pirated software, and to enforce current piracy laws. Some people who attended the educational events learned that they had unintentionally purchased counterfeit versions of Windows through auction sites, even after being told they were a genuine version. Microsoft reimbursed these people with genuine versions of Windows, and many of them appear to be pleased by this action. Action was also taken against resellers in multiple countries that had been selling illegal copies of Windows and Office.
