Reading the court documents, the conclusion is that the guy is shady and the journalist and the newspaper are borderline lying. The correct headline is: "E-waste recycler loses appeal on 28,000 counterfeit windows installation disks, must serve prison term" >The sentencing judge determined that the appropriate infringement value was the value of the infringed discs to small registered refurbishers: $25. The court found credible the government expert’s testimony that he was able to use the infringing discs to install functioning Microsoft software So there were 28,000 discs with Microsoft and Dell logos which can be used to to install functioning Microsoft software That's a different picture than the one painted by the article. >In particular, the court noted that it did not find it reasonable to believe that Lundgren and his codefendant had spent at least around $80,000 to create discs that had no value. Using the $25 infringement amount, Lundgren’s guideline range was 37 to 46 months imprisonment. The court sentenced Lundgren to 15-months imprisonment https://www.courtlistener.com/pdf/2018/04/11/united_states_v._clifford_eric_lundgren.pdf https://www.courtlistener.com/pdf/2018/04/11/united_states_v...
