Microsoft is suing four different radio stations in the Super Radio Network group, but it appears that the tech giant is currently pondering filing new lawsuits against some other stations.

Several former employees have tipped off Microsoft and Adobe about the pirated software deployed on the workstations belonging to some other radio stations in the Australian group, so the two companies are now trying to pursue legal actions against all of them.

“There has been information provided by former employees of the prospective respondents that similar types of copyright infringement, as alleged in these proceedings, also occurred,” the counsel for the plaintiff explained at a recent hearing according to ZDNet. “There is a strong circumstantial case.”

Microsoft has reportedly filed two different so-called “discovery requests” to investigate computers, one that’s aimed at the four radio stations involved in the original lawsuit and another one supposed to help discover pirated software on the new stations allegedly using counterfeited apps.
