“If you are planning to become a pirate, please copy and use our software illegally,” said Jeff Raikes, president of the Microsoft business unit .
This statement from such an official of the company, which has been fighting for many years against pirates and defending the observance of copyright, is at least strange.
Reykis said at a Morgan Stanley Technology conference in San Francisco a week ago that piracy is helping Microsoft to some extent, since a person who buys pirated software can later purchase a licensed version.
Jeff noted that the above does not mean that the company will stop fighting with sellers and users of pirated software.
It has also been said that for the poor, Microsoft is developing a scheme called"Pay-as-you-go" , which allows you to take licensed software for rent.
