As many of you know, the Business Software Alliance (BSA) is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to combat software piracy. The BSA has begun to target smaller companies. As an example, a small Midwestern engineering and consulting firm was recently required to pay the BSA $105,000 to settle claims for its use of unlicensed software.

On July 9, 2008, the BSA announced an expansion of its “Know It/Report It/Reward It” campaign which is designed to induce individuals to notify the BSA of software piracy by providing cash rewards of up to $1,000,000.
