Microsoft has put to rest another legal problem. The company announced on Friday that it had reached a settlement with South Korean Internet portal Daum. Daum had complained to the South Korean Fair Trade Commission in 2001, accusing Microsoft of breaking the law by tying its instant messaging software to Windows. A lawsuit on the same grounds was filed in 2004. As part of the settlement, Microsoft will pay Daum $30 million, including $10 million in cash, a $10 million advertising package, and the remaining $10 million within various other agreements. In return, Daum would drop its lawsuit. Much like Microsoft's RealNetworks settlement, the two companies will form a partnership, with Microsoft giving space for Daum content on its MSN Web site, as well as promoting the company's products elsewhere. Settling with both RealNetworks and Daum does not mean the Fair Trade Commission investigation will end, however.
