View at nwsource.com
Microsoft Corp. said Thursday it had filed its first breach-of-contract lawsuits against several members of a software subscription service.
The Redmond-based company alleges that nine people in California, Maryland, New York, Texas and Virginia obtained Microsoft Action Pack Subscriptions, then tried to sell the software on Internet auction sites.
Microsoft, the world's largest software maker, said the alleged abuses involved falsifying information to receive program benefits and software titles multiple times.
The MAPS program provides partners with discounted Microsoft software for product evaluation and internal use, not for resale.
