I talked to him a couple of times over the phone. The name of the author

I did the software testing of several version of MS Office in recent years

(including PC and Mac versions). I raised this topic of Excel VBA Project
protection numerous times. (So many times that's sufficient to break my
keyboard.)

Unfortunately, no action has been taken by Microsoft. Or, I should say,

they have no plan to plan to plan to take any action on this topic. Now,

There's little if anything Microsoft can do about this. This
is a straightforward breach of copyright , the main
problem is that of bringing an action in Australia when
you are in another country.

I'd also suggest contacting the Australian copyright council
