Microsoft Files Lawsuit Against IP Address That Activated Pirated Windows, Office

For a long time, many users have used Microsoft's operating systems and other software without paying license fees. The company was not so strict as to have restrictions or take piracy users to book since the piracy user database was too large, but the technology giant was always looking for large and corporate offices due to the large amount of software pirated that was used under only roof and that also for commercial purposes. But now, it seems that Microsoft has lifted its socks and is also behind individual users.

In a recent incident, Microsoft has filed a lawsuit against an IP that allegedly attempted to activate a pirated copy of Windows and Office. Microsoft has sued the party for copyright infringement and trademark infringement. GeekWire reported that the court documents mentioned a particular IP address that appears to be used by a Comcase office in New Jersy. The person behind the IP address allegedly attempts to activate more than 1,000 copies of Microsoft software without a license.

"During the process of activating the software, the Defendants contacted the Microsoft activation servers in Washington more than 2800 times between December 2014 and July 2017, and transmitted detailed information to those servers to activate the software," Microsoft complained. .

In this particular case, it was very likely that it was a store that installed unlicensed copies on the devices it sells. With this move, it definitely confirms that the technology giant is listening to incoming requests and reducing the IP addresses they are entering to zero to enable pirated copies of software.

Windows and Office of Microsoft are one of the most pirated products in the world and the technology giant currently suffers great losses, especially in countries like China, where piracy is still a major problem.
