The
Business Software Alliance has reached "significant
settlements" with four UK companies for the alleged
use of illegal and unlicensed software.
London-based Blitz Corporation, Genetics Limited of Ludlow,
Sheffield-based MTL Group and Modular UK, based in East Yorkshire,
are the latest businesses to be exposed by the Business Software
Alliance (BSA) enforcement team for allegedly flouting software
licensing laws.
"With settlements running into tens of thousands of pounds,
these cases act as a warning of the significant financial
implications for those caught using pirated or unlicensed
software," said the BSA.
The illegal software allegedly used by the firms included
Microsoft and Adobe software.
