A Cornish roofer has been caught out for
sellingcounterfeit softwareoneBay.
The man from Redruth, Cornwall was nabbed after a company that
sells anatomical software bought a copy of its own software on the
auction site.
Working with the Federation Against Software Theft, software
house Primal Pictures contacted the counterfeiter.
The anti-piracy partners say the man has now promised to cease
trading in illegal software and has supplied a written admission of
his guilt. He will now negotiate compensation with Primal.
Peter Allan, CEO of Primal Pictures said, "Our software is the
product of years of dedicated hard work by anatomists and computer
graphic experts, and it is used to train medical and surgical
students all over the world.
"We went to Fast to help us settle this without going to court,
and we are happy that the rogue seller has ceased his illegal
activities so that we can stay in business."
