All the more reason to use Linux and OnlyOffice or LibreOffice
I have trouble taking piracy enforcement seriously from any company involved in AI tech.
Piracy is only ok if you do it on a big enough scale
A billion dongs!?
In a row?
Seems a bit sensationalised but they’re only targeting companies selling pirated copies which sounds about right I guess? Your average user who does this isn’t gonna be affected.
Nah, they appear to also target individuals.
I can’t seem to find anything on the article that seems to say so other than, you should just be careful and verify your software. I can’t imagine going after tens of thousands of people to be remotely viable.
I can just imagine the scene, fortunate son playing in the background as a chopper comes flying in, cut to the scene of thousands of Vietnamese people on their computers peacefully typing in bliss…

Fuck any criminal treatment for civil copyright whining, but moreover:
Linux is free.
My go-to is to install and see if Microsoft activated it themselves. It’s pretty common for enterprise equipment to have a built-in license.
If not, I sell as-is and suggest the user buy a third party license, if they want one.
