Software Licensing Compliance
Using unlicensed or pirated software is a violation of United States copyright law. The penalties for copyright infringement are serious, sometimes totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars. Unfortunately, many businesses are not aware that they may be using unlicensed software. This could put you at risk. To counter software piracy and enforce intellectual property rights, several IT companies formed the Business Software Alliance (BSA).

BSA Information
The BSA offers tools to help determine if you are compliant. Visit their Web site for more information. Also, learn more about the BSA Software Grace Period, as well as pull down a current list of monthly target cities and audit dates.
