That sounds really tame compared to nowadays.

it’s tame, except we’re talking like, literally stealing a piece of software or it’s design blatantly, settling, and then acquiring the rights in the settlement for much cheaper than they would at market rates.

It’s not his problem that they settled for so little though.

he shouldn’t have broken the law in the first place, but that’s not the problem of the small business.
I mean there are literally three options here, purchase it from the business legally. Which costs shit tons of money, or steal it. And then deal with it after the fact, which is what they did, and it saved MS lots of money, while probably fucking yeeting the small business.

Well duh. I’m just saying it’s really tame compared to nowadays.
Also I personally don’t really care too much about copyright.
