Software piracy
equals lost
wages, lost
jobs, and unfair
competition.
Struggling to
fight against
piracy, some
companies must
devote resources
to anti-piracy
technology,
ultimately
slowing down the
development of
better products
and services.
Others fail
under the
pressure of
prices that
legal resellers
can't match.
Reporting piracy
means keeping a
level playing
field, and
ensuring the
most reliable
products for
your customers.
You can help
stop this
illegal and
harmful
activity.
Knowing how to
spot and avoid
illegal
software, and
reporting
suspected
intellectual
property
violations when
you encounter
them, can have a
positive impact
on the fight
against piracy.
Please learn
more about this
criminal
activity, and
take action.
