Unlicensed software costs firms | |

Nine Southern California companies will pay the Business Software Alliance a combined $826,270 to settle claims that they were using unlicensed programmes on office computers, the Washington, DC-based trade group has said. Locally, the companies include Ascent Media Group Inc, a creative and technical services provider with offices in Burbank, and CallSource, a performance management company in Westlake Village. Both companies are respectively paying more than $100,000 to settle the claims. “The whole point is to make it more expensive for a company to be out of compliance than it is to be in compliance,” said Bob Kruger, vice-president of enforcement for BSA, which represents Adobe, Apple, Microsoft, IBM and other software developers. “They pay us the money and agree to delete any unlicensed software they have on their computers.” | ||

| Kind of like how the Mafia operates. You pay us and your business doesn't burn down. So glad these thugs are around to protect "us". |
