Microsoft to blast Google for its copyright policy - Yahoo! News “Companies that create no content of their own, and make money solely on the backs of other people’s content, are raking in billions through advertising revenue and IPOs,” says Rubin, who oversees copyright and trade secret law at Microsoft.

Softimage: Microsoft was found guilty of software piracy last year (2001) by a French court.
