[News] [Rival] Microsoft in Trouble -- Racketeering Case and Falsified Documents

Lawyer Altered Docs in Best Buy Case

,----[ Quote ]
| The lawsuit, filed in 2003, accuses Best Buy of signing up at least 
| 100,000 customers for trial subscriptions to Microsoft Corp.'s MSN 
| Internet service from 1999 to 2003, in many cases without their 
| knowledge. Once the trial period ended, the customers began 
| incurring credit card charges they had not approved.
| 
| Microsoft, which paid Best Buy for each customer it signed up, is 
| accused of allowing Best Buy's practice to continue even after 
| receiving complaints.
