I heard this on WCBU this morning, but unfortunately, they don’t post all their news stories on their website, so I can’t link to it. Here’s the story from Huliq.com (emphasis added):
The Business Software Alliance (BSA) recently settled with manufacturing businesses totaling $1.43 million in settlements. The companies settled claims that they had unlicensed copies of Adobe, Autodesk, Microsoft, SolidWorks and Symantec software on their computers. The settling companies included: American Spring Wire Corporation; AZ Automotive Corporation; Enpro Systems, Ltd; Interactive Health, Inc.; Morton Metalcraft, Co.; PDI; and Sure-Feed Engineering, Inc.
According to the story on WCBU, a current or former employee most likely tipped off BSA. I know someone who works at Morton Metalcraft. You don’t think…? Nah, it probably wasn’t him.
