Yes they would pay people. But I guess that you would have to go to court and testify and they probably have to win for them to pay you. And I would be that they wouldn't bother about small users if you snitched these to them.
The BSA is actually the organization that you report software piracy to. I have never heard of anybody getting paid to snitch. Usually it works out that a disgruntled employee wants to get back at their employer so they put in the call to the BSA. The charge per pirated license is something like 50k. I have heard of companies getting hit with 1mil+ fines.
Hey guys,
I have this private deal with Mr Gates.....................as long as I keep paying him for the software, he won't tell anyone.
So I get to keep my street cred?
:D
Good weekend folks
..muhaha...
what bsa is looking for are companies using a single user license as a server version
to make 500 clients working with it.
if you was fired and your boss is doing so^^ ,hrhrhr, you now can kick his ass.
i wouldn't do, but it's up to you.
He is very either very honest or looking for some IT payback. If an IT manager is smart he will enforce software licensing. After all, I would hate to lose a high paying job because someone found out a main database server was running withoug a license????
To discredit onces reputation and career over something so trivial is foolish, especially when Linux is a good alternative. It's true that keeping up is close to impossible but due diligence could be worth it's weight in court. Assuming anyone will ever end up there.
