Initiates legal proceedings and education schemes in 49 countries, spanning six continents
Microsoft Global Anti Piracy Day
In what could be seen as the antithesis of ‘speak like a pirate' day, Microsoft has announced that today is Global Anti Piracy Day. Launching several global initiatives, the aim is to raise awareness of the damage to software innovation that Microsoft says is caused by piracy.
As well as educating people about piracy, Microsoft has also initiated a huge list of legal proceedings that it’s taking out against pirates. Microsoft isn’t messing about when it says ‘global’ either. The list of 49 countries that Microsoft is targeting spans six continents, and ranges from the UK and the US all the way through to Chile, Egypt, Kuwait, Indonesia and China.

Amen, Brother Marstone. The software companies are the biggest crooks in this.
