I bought the software because I trusted eBay to not allow people to sell counterfeit software. When I discovered it was pirated, I reported it to eBay, trusting that they would put an end to it. EBay has done nothing to stop the seller.

Microsoft is known for pursuing anyone that pirates its software. It doesn't matter what country the counterfeiters are in, the tech giant will go after them.

In this quest, the company announced Tuesday that it settled 3,265 software piracy cases worldwide in the past year. Thirty-five of these cases were in the U.S., in 19 different states; and, 3,230 were international cases that took place in 42 different countries.

'Software counterfeiting negatively impacts local and global economic growth, stifles innovation, and puts consumers and businesses at risk,' Microsoft Cybercrime Center associate general counsel David Finn said in a statement.

Microsoft said that the majority of its piracy cases got started because of tips from its customers. Typically, people report counterfeit software to Microsoft after they find malware and viruses on the items they bought or if the software didn't work correctly. According to Microsoft, 450,000 customers have reported pirated software to the company since 2005.

Besides going after pirates with lawsuits, Microsoft also uses other means to try to stop counterfeiters. It files more URL takedown requests to Google than any other company in the world -- claiming that these sites deal in copyrighted or pirated material. Between July 2011 and May 2012, Microsoft asked Google to remove a total of 2,544,209 URLs.
