Unfortunately, the thing about corporate personhood is that corporations are responsible for the actions of their employees. Unless of course, they can show that the employee was acting against explicit instructions or policies.

Without a doubt, stealing code like this is against policies at Microsoft.

If what the author says is true then yes. Unfortunately they really bungled their case by trying to reach out through unofficial channels first.
