arcticstoat writes "n what could be seen as the antithesis of 'speak like a pirate' day, Microsoft has announced that today is Global Anti Piracy Day. Launching several global initiatives, the aim is to raise awareness of the damage to software innovation that Microsoft says is caused by piracy. One such initiative is a blog scheme it's launched with the American Chamber of Commerce for Brazil, which Microsoft says will 'raise awareness among Brazilian educators about the importance of teaching young students about innovation and the high costs of piracy.' As well as educating people about piracy, Microsoft has also initiated a huge list of legal proceedings that it's taking out against pirates. Microsoft isn't messing about when it says 'global' either. The list of 49 countries that Microsoft is targeting spans six continents, and ranges from the UK and the US all the way through to Chile, Egypt, Kuwait, Indonesia and China."
