Organizations of all sizes are encouraged to set aside
some time on April 10, 2007 to evaluate potential
software piracy issues. Software License Awareness
Day provides an opportunity for organizations to reduce
or eliminate the liability that comes with using
unlicensed software. Following are examples of
potential damages your organization might face:
"If the copyright owner brings a civil action
against you, the owner can seek to stop you from
using its software immediately and can also request
monetary damages. The copyright owner may then
choose between actual damages, which includes the
amount it has lost because of your infringement as
well as any profits attributable to the
infringement, and statutory damages, which can be as
much as $150,000 for each program copied. In
addition, the government can criminally prosecute
you for copyright infringement. If convicted, you
can be fined up to $250,000, or sentenced to jail
for up to five years, or both."
