End users are never sued by Microsoft for anything like what you allege - all they get is disappointment that they did not actually get a free/low cost copy of Microsoft Office. Open Office is just as disappointing, if not more so.

After furious head scratching, uuvpitfmklou******.com asked:

| Don't be fooled by illegal copies of Microsoft Office selling for 49$
| - 69$. These are not licensed copies and could end up costing you more
| than $100,000 in copyright fines or willful infringement. Open Office
| is a fully licensed alternative software to Microsoft Office. Get the
| peace of mind of purchasing a licensed Office Suite for a quarter of
| the price.
| Illegal copies can range from simply giving you access to P2P file
| sharing applications, copying original CD's onto a CD-R, or allowing
| you to download an image file of a copied CD. These are all highly
| illegal, and Microsoft is known for it's strict standards in combating
| copyright infringers.
