Software Piracy

Scenario

A large private Chicago area publisher was accused of improperly using unlicensed versions of popular graphic design software. The case originated when a “whistleblower” contacted the Business Software Alliance to complain about the alleged infraction.

Our experts were hired by the publisher as a part of a settlement agreement with the BSA to performed a company-wide software audit to identify inappropriate software copies, remove them from computers, and provide forensic validation of this process.

Our world is a digital world, and the critical evidence that lies at the heart of most business disputes is often found in Electronically Stored Information (ESI). Computer Forensics is the art and science of applying both highly advanced forensics software and hardware and years of experience to the process of locating, preserving, authenticating, and producing electronic evidence.
