Your articles are incorrect and your journalistic standards are awful. Like, the one you link here, written on 4/25: > Lundgren, by the way, is not some scammer looking to fleece a few people and make a quick buck. He has been a major figure on the e-waste scene, working to minimize the toxic wages of planned obsolescence and running a company of 100 to responsibly refurbish or recycle old computers and other devices. From Microsoft: > Part of Mr. Lundgren’s defense also involved claims that he was trying to provide the community with something that was freely available anyway. This claim was rejected by the district court and the Court of Appeals. This is because Microsoft itself sells genuine versions of these CDs to refurbishers (hence the market for selling counterfeit copies). In addition, Mr. Lundgren took great pains to disguise the counterfeit software he imported, including arranging for fake Microsoft and Dell labels to be applied to the discs. > In an email sent in December of 2011, Mr. Lundgren said to his co-defendant, > “You would have to be an expert with a magnifying glass to know and/or see such differences.” “You must have been trying to supply these units to Amazon directly or someone who is expert.” > He went on to say, > “C’mon Bob, you should be able to sell these units to anyone whom is not trying to sell them back to Bill Gates.” > And, > “Please sell some of these units. You MUST have some other buyers for this product – and if you do not, then find some. It has been months and I have not seen the return I was expecting to use for my India project buddy.” > He concluded, > “No normal company or buyer will notice such issues.” “Make me proud so that our business can grow and we can keep winning.” > Mr. Lundgren also tried to evade U.S. Customs and coached his codefendant how to handle questions from federal agents. In 2011 he wrote: > “There are tricks for bypassing customs with container’s & LTL but currently this is how I get these products without invoices past customs.” > And, referring to customs officers: > “If they call you just play stupid and tell them you ordered from an asset management broker overseas.” > Mr. Lundgren and co-defendant Bob Wolff explicitly discussed deceiving people with the counterfeit software. In one email to Mr. Lundgren about the software he’s arranging to manufacture, Mr. Wolff writes: > “If the software will be 98% accurate I believe I can get away with that.” He was urging people to sell these discs as genuine and coaching them on how to lie if they got caught.
