The internet is abuzz with news of Microsoft's initiative to wipe off Torrents and pirated software from Windows 10 users'
hard drives, even as Torrent sites have resorted to banning Microsoft's newest operating system over privacy concerns. This evasive action from the hardcore pirate groups comes in the aftermath of several media reports citing various privacy intrusions with Windows 10.
One of the key privacy issues with Windows 10 is its ability to scan software for counterfeit games and apps, wherein the scanned information is sent directly back to Microsoft servers. Microsoft can then redirect or share this confidential info with third-party entities including the brand protection company MarkMonitor, in order to crack down on file sharers.
