Yes, but this program is designed to protect MS from infringement - NOT really to protect MS customers' from being the victims of infringement. Nobody (well, I hope nobody) who buys a Rolex on the streets of NY for $20 really thinks they are getting a Rolex. The counterfeiting DOES hurt sales and reputation of Rolex, but I doubt people are being duped - for the most part. What does MS do to HELP the victims of software counterfeiting?
