Microsoft doesn’t care if you pirate their software. You are not their customer, you are small.

Microsoft’s customers are people with huge money. Governments, schools, business, militaries, computer manufacturers. Not Joe from Iowa.

Those people have enormous money and pay full price. Why even bother trying to stop Joe. Even all the Joes don’t add up to anything of note compared to your big customers. In fact even giving it away to Joe is probably a good idea, steal all the market share. So what I lose a little money, it’s worth it to control the market.
