once they got into the books, I would be willing to bet that Microsoft/BSA would
go after anyone who purchased a larger number of systems from this guy. 
After all, they were not valid licenses and they would need to become current
to still use the software.  They probably just left the small home owners alone
or only sent them letters instructing them now to get legal licenses. It would
then be these businesses responsibility to get their money back from the guy
who sold them illegal stuff, not Microsoft's or the BSA's job.
