Those are different kinds of pirates. The funny thing is that most nations (even Japan) have war ships in the area to control those pirates. But they do nothing. One Apache helicopter would suffice to sink their mother ships. The problem could be solved in 1 hour - but no, we are too civilized. Could be a good shooting practice - also for the subs.
Am I reading the article correctly? It is activating Microsoft windows 7 & other Microsoft stuff from a different IP? I see that as impossible. The only possible way would be someone unknowingly got a modified version of Microsoft Windows 7, xp, office, etc... that would connect to that IP instead of the correct activation IP.
It looks like somebody is running a KMS server for illegal activations, that sort of thing has been going on for years.
