SOFTWARE PIRACY
| Licensed user duplication for unlicensed users |
|
When someone copies
software without buying the appropriate number
of licenses, it is copyright infringement.
Each of these activities is a form of software
piracy:
- An individual copying
software for a friend
- A business underreporting
the number of computers using the software
|
|
|
| Illegal Internet distribution |
|
|
Be cautious when ordering
software over the Internet. Many resellers
with Internet storefronts or those who sell
from auction sites knowingly distribute
copies of software illegally. Estimates
reveal that as much as 90% of software sold
over Internet auction sites is either bootlegged
or gray market. So, if the pricing seems
too good to be true, it probably is.
Some Web sites promise
prospects free software downloads. These
sites are distributing software illegally.
There is also no guarantee that the software
is secure or will work properly when installed.
To buy knowing that
you'll receive the protection and full functionality
of legal software, we recommend that you
purchase from us or from an Authorized Reseller.

Those who believe they're saving money
by pirating software couldn't be more mistaken. Legal and
financial penalties, higher administrative costs, and lowered
productivity make piracy very expensive.
