Microsoft sues recycling contractor after sales of stolen Office software
Microsoft is suing an electronic recycling contractor after employees allegedly stole and sold millions of dollars worth of software that was supposed to be destroyed.
The lawsuit was filed last week with the U.S. District Court of Western Washington. Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) says Global Electronics Recycling should pay copyright damages for 70,000 copies of Office 2010 software after the company neglected to supervise employees and that software ended up on the black market.
