An another raid of the Head Department for Combating Organized Crime MIA of AR was arranged together with the Copyright Agency.
According to the information of the local unit of Microsoft, test purchases were made for the collection of evidence and the subsequent initiation of criminal proceedings for copyright infringement and software piracy. The copyright is owned by Microsoft.
"During the demonstrative operation in one of the shops of Baku there were seized three computers with pre-installed software products of Microsoft, which had signs of being counterfeit. The inspectors also seized several vehicles from which perhaps the installation of pirated copies of software was made. The assessment of the seized goods is carried out and the question of further legal action is being solved," the statement said.
Recall, the March monitoring of the computer market showed that half of proven retail outlets carried the open sale of computer technology with pirated software, and the sales staff openly installs pirated software in the stores.
According to official data, 85% of the electronic products in Azerbaijan are counterfeiting. The local unit of the world's leading vendor hopes that joint raids will help protect consumers from possible risks and improve discipline of the suppliers of computer equipment in the observance of copyright. --17D-
