[Kictanet] Watch out - Pirated Software gets Riskier in the US

[jwalubengo at kcct.ac.ke]

BSA, the Business Software Alliance - a watchdog group against software
piracy- has opened a hotline where informers call in and advice on which
companies are running pirated software.

A succesfull pointer leads to an immediate 50,000USD for the informer and
ofcourse a fine for the company. Very interesting.  Former (and
disgruntled?) employees are apparently taking advantage of the offer and
calling in quite frequently.

Maybe a good reason to payup for Software or consider migrating to Open
Source Solutions...
