Microsoft Says: Don't Touch That Code!
Warnings go to file-swappers and downloaders suspected of sharing stolen Windows source code.

In an effort to protect its intellectual property, Microsoft is warning Internet users not to download the Windows source code that appeared online last week.

Microsoft is sending warnings to users who search for its source code on peer-to-peer file-swapping services and is mailing legal warnings to those who have already downloaded the secret programming code, says Tom Pilla, a Microsoft spokesperson. The company has acknowledged the code, spreading on the Internet without its authorization, is genuine if incomplete.
Defending Secrets
Pilla will not say which P-to-P services Microsoft is targeting or how the company is delivering the alerts on the services it doesn't own.
"These alerts serve to inform users who initiate a search looking for Windows source code that it is illegal to view, download and share the code," he says.
Microsoft has also sent hundreds of letters to people who have already downloaded the source code, Pilla says. Many have already responded by agreeing not to distribute the code and deleting it from their systems, he adds. Pilla declines to tell how Microsoft knows who downloaded the code, or who received the letters.
"We will take all appropriate legal actions to protect our intellectual property. Today is about communicating, notifying and explaining to users that downloading, sharing and viewing of the source code is illegal," Pilla says.
Microsoft last week said incomplete portions of its closely-guarded Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 source code, the blueprints of the operating system software, were leaked on the Internet. The company has started an internal investigation and called in the FBI.
Already, a potential exploit has been identified that uses the revealed source code. That discovery underscores some concerns that the leaked code is a security risk.
No Surprise
Pursuing those who have downloaded the code and warning Internet users not to download the code is a "natural move" from Microsoft, says Thor Larholm, a senior security researcher at PivX Solutions, adding he has not downloaded the code himself.
"Microsoft has historically gone to great lengths to defend its copyright, intellectual property and trade secrets," Larholm says. "Companies developing products for the Windows platform should also ensure that their employees do not have the leaked source code, as this could impact on their operations and bring a significant liability on the company."
Although it is within Microsoft's rights to protect its intellectual property, playing hardball with those who have downloaded it may have an adverse effect on the company's image, says Joe Wilcox, a Jupiter Research senior analyst.
"While the company arguably is the wronged party here, Microsoft may want to carefully consider the larger public image cost of trying to protect three-and-a-half year-old source code," Wilcox says. "The notices run the risk of backlash at a time when Microsoft tries to rebuild a public image tarnished by the U.S. antitrust case."
Wilcox says some people may view Microsoft's tactic as heavy handed, along the lines of Recording Industry Association of America's crackdown on music file-sharing. "Remember that some of the source code trading occurs on the same P-to-P networks used for swapping music," he says.
Microsoft's Pilla declines comment on what further steps Microsoft may take to protect its intellectual property and trade secrets.
