 Scarey email from Microsoft
Hi, I am still a newbie here but I bought stealth & ghost, I have an ebay account about 50 days old, I received an email today directly from Microsoft, Here is my copy /paste of the main contents:
Please understand this letter is intended to open communication between Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) and your business.
Microsoft receives information from various sources each month regarding the distribution of Microsoft software, including from customers who have questions or concerns. When possible, and in an effort to work more closely with resellers, Microsoft advises businesses when their name has come to Microsoft’s attention.
In keeping with this policy, we would like you to know that it has come to Microsoft’s attention that your business may have distributed illegal and/or unlicensed Microsoft software or components. Microsoft would like to take this opportunity to make sure you have the information you need to avoid exposing your business to the consequences of counterfeiting and other forms of illegal distribution of Microsoft software and components.
Consequences of Illegal Distribution
Microsoft takes the protection of its trademarks and copyrights very seriously and undertakes substantial expense to provide legal and educational programs to protect consumers, honest resellers and honest system builders from counterfeit and illegal software. Microsoft routinely conducts undercover test purchases across the country from system builders and resellers who are reportedly selling counterfeit or other unlicensed Microsoft software. For willful infringement, federal law authorizes damages up to $150,000 per copyright and up to $2,000,000 for trademark. Intentional violators may also be subject to criminal penalties, including fines and imprisonment.
After this they gave me a long list of what is illegal and legal they said "if I have any questions to contact them".
I haven't received anything from eBay yet, no warning nothing. Is this common, Should I be worried? does any body ever get sued or prosecuted for this stuff?
Any info would be greatly appreciated,
