It seems that this "manufacturing counterfeits" is literally just copying Windows CDs:
> Lundgren made 28,000 of the discs and shipped them to a broker, who planned to sell them to computer refurbishing shops for about 25 cents each, so they could provide them to used-computer buyers.
> Microsoft’s lawyers valued the discs at $25 each and said they represent $700,000 in potential sales.
Firstly I think it's a harsh sentence (because copying isn't theft[0]), but secondly can anyone tell me why on earth he didn't just burn some Debian discs? (Perhaps with LXDE if it's really old computers.)
