Jail for 'Robin Hoods' who cost Microsoft millions CNET News.com
By Reuters
"LONDON -- Four Britons were jailed on Friday for being part of a global gang described as 'Robin Hoods' who stole expensive software from rich companies and gave it away for free over the Internet.
The group, described by prosecutors as 'sad individuals' who spent their lives in front of computers, were said to have cost firms such as Microsoft millions of dollars in profit and enraged its chairman, Bill Gates.
Prosecutors told London's Old Bailey criminal court that the four men, motivated by a hatred of software companies, were the key players in an international ring, said to be one of the world's most sophisticated Web piracy groups."
