BSA offers to earn up to $ 200,000, reporting on the use of pirated software

The BSA Trade Association represents the interests of the largest software developers, including Adobe, Apple, Microsoft, Oracle and Symantec. Traditionally, BSA helps law enforcement agencies to “raid” markets and searches in the offices of companies suspected of installing unlicensed software. Companies are subject to heavy fines.

A few years ago, the BSA launched the NoPiracy.org campaign. All users are encouraged to join the ranks of anti-piracy activists and anonymously report the names and addresses of companies where pirated software has been seen. Previously, "annoy" the former employer was popular with laid-off employees. Well, now you can even make money on such denunciations!

For example, in accordance with the terms of the BSA End User Reward Program in Canada, the remuneration ranges from $ 5,000 to $ 200 thousand.
