E-tailer unwittingly sold counterfeit software
Quote:A British website has been caught selling counterfeit Microsoft software which it obtained from what it thought to be a legitimate Chinese source. Microsoft was alerted when a customer of Monitorship.co.uk used Microsoft's Product Identification Service.

The Middlesbrough-based e-tailer was shocked when it learned that it was selling illegal copies, according to Microsoft. It had obtained Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Office 2003 from what it thought to be a legitimate Chinese source. It unwittingly sold over £7,000 worth of pirate software.

Can we add SuSe Linux to the worthless crap list too? One of their latest patches broke mod_rewrite on 2 of our servers....grrrrr.  BangHead

Pirated EVERYTHING is a big problem...and not just online.
