Police detain Microsoft marketing materials

Last week Moscow police detained a truck on suspicion of the transportation of compact disks with unlicensed copies of Microsoft software. The vehicle was carrying 6,000 boxes, each looking like a smaller copy of the Russian version of Microsoft Office 2000 and containing a CD and an anti-piracy booklet. The boxes had no certificates of authenticity and other necessary documents. It took the police several hours to ascertain that the arrested goods were ordered by the Russian office of Microsoft for an advertising campaign.
