Lawsuit Calls Microsoft's Anti-Piracy Tool Spyware |
A
computer user is suing
Microsoft over the company's Windows Genuine Advantage
anti-piracy tool, alleging that it violates laws against spyware.
The suit by Los Angeles resident Brian Johnson, filed this week in
U.S. District Court in Seattle, seeks class-action status for
claims that Microsoft didn't adequately disclose details of the
tool when it was delivered to PC users through the company's
Automatic Update system.
