Software piracy can cost your business hundreds of thousands of dollars

…and you may not even know you’ve done it.

OSSI conducts licensing audits to help ensure that you have right licenses and the correct number of licenses for your software applications and for your operating system. The Software and Information Industry Association website has information about the penalties for pirating software, stating that the Copyright Act allows a copyright owner to recover monetary damages measured either by: (1) actual damages plus any additional profits of the infringer attributable to the infringement, or (2) statutory damages, of up to $150,000 for each copyrighted work infringed.

Software companies are on high alert for piracy, and the Business Software Alliance conducts investigations on software piracy. According to a study by the Business Software Alliance and the International Data Corporation (IDC), the global software piracy rate in 2003 was 36%, with a loss of $29 billion. The continuing problem means lost jobs, wages, tax revenues, and a potential barrier to success for software start-ups around the globe.

Make sure your company is in compliance and that your company doesn’t end up paying a hefty fine by getting a licensing audit from OSSI.
