said by cableties:My employer once justified theft of software. He felt it was silly to be charged thousands of dollars for applications that would not generate the same revenue in return.
I politely suggested that he purchase it, over time, as one day, he will be audited by some disgruntled employee's complaint to the BSA.
He is now in compliance.
Let me guess, that disgruntled employee was you. Your boss fired you, and you, knowing that he had unlicensed software, decided to get even with him by ratting him out to BSA.
While the above may or may not be true about you, you'd be surprised about how many employees are looking the other way when their employers are doing something illegal. Then if/when they get fired, all of a sudden they decide to blow a whistle, and not to make their employer pay for breaking the law, but for screw them right back.
