Yes, MS, this is the correct way, not forcing your paying customers to prove their innocence and assuming they are guilty.

MS is not changing how they do things - they just expanded the way they have been going after pirates to include more than a few countries.

They have always gone after pirates and "customers", so nothing is different.


It wasn't really a long article, Leythos. From the article:

"Today's announcement marks ... ***the first time*** the company has focused its efforts worldwide to bring legal action against online dealers,"

My point, which you missed, was that this is the way to deal with pirates, not assume ALL of your paying customers are thieves and forcing them to jump through flawed WPA/WGA/WGAN/SPP hoops to prove their innocence!
