6. Your own argument. (Microsoft VS AT&T)

6. My Argument
Microsoft won this case based on the theory that their master disc they sent out overseas was not directly used in the products AT&T produced. They argued that copies were made from the master disc, and because Microsoft didn't produce these copies themselves, they are not at fault because it was the companies overseas distibuting copies of Microsoft's software.

I believe that Microsoft won in a clever loophole, but I must say that is was directly Microsoft's fault because it was the intention that brought this case at hand. Microsoft sent out the master disc knowing that there would be copies made, so there should be some blame on Microsoft's end. I do however think that it was fair that Microsoft won the case based on the fact that they themselves did not distibute the copies, only the abstract.
