The letter is not fake. My buddy got the same letter from Laywver of Microsoft.
The send the letter to his home adress. He called the office and went even to the office
of the laywvers. Its 100% real i can tell you Microsoft laywvers dont play around.
He got a fine for €50.000 but after some back and forward it got reduced to €12.500

My second point still holds then.
There's no reason to compromise anonymity, and this warning is pointless since it has been posted on forums where pretty much everyone is using a pseudonym.

The post seems fake, and even if it wasn't, this is kinda the point of Bitcoin.
Just remain anonymous using pseudonyms and perform transactions in Bitcoin.
I doubt they are going to be able to dox you well enough if you use a different pseudonym for the microsoft keys related transactions, and even then I'm not sure they'll be able to know with certainty that they're suing the right person.

I have took a quick look at this post, it seems he did sold on Ebay and sold not only the key but as well the DVD's/CD's pretty dumb to do so, but a few users said that this letter is not fake.
