If you’re going to be a software counterfeiter, then please copy and illegally use Microsoft products.

The above plea isn’t from a posting on a hacker forum. Rather, it’s how Microsoft business group president Jeff Raikes feels about software counterfeiters. “If they’re going to pirate somebody, we want it to be us rather than somebody else,” Raikes said. The remarks might seem surprising, coming from a senior executive at a software company that spends millions each year fighting software piracy and developing copyright protection technologies. And the question is why?

Because if you pirate a product, you’re more likely to become attached, and dependent, on the software. Once you’re locked in, you’re more likely to purchase it, which is what Microsoft wants. This information fits with the Windows Genuine Advantage and all the Vista anti-piracy software if once you consider Jeff’s notion that Microsoft does want to crack down but not so much that piraters turn elsewhere for their goods.

But maybe not all country gonna agree with Jeff word. When they all tried to fight software piracy, Jeff seem wanna give them a green light to do so
