Software Pirate Fined

I love reading stories like this, when companies are compensated for their loss and pirates are shut down (umm, and fined $4.1 million.  Owch.)  My favorite line in the story?  " 'Modern-day pirates ought to expect modern-day penalties,' said Chuck Rosenberg, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia."

Software Pirate Ends Up Paying The Price

ABOUT FREEBIES:

  • Just becuase it was free, doesn't mean you can do anything you want with it.
    "FREEBIES ARE GIVEN FROM THE VENUE OF THE ARTIST'S CHOOSING IN ORDER TO GENERATE TRAFFIC TO THEIR PLACE OF BUSINESS. PRE-EMPTING THAT STEP NOT ONLY HURTS THEIR BUSINESS AND VIOLATES THEIR Terms of Use, BUT IS ILLEGAL AND VIOLATES US COPYRIGHT LAW."
    (quoted from Miki from Microferk Designs. )

    To learn more about freebies and piracy, please read Why it's not ok to share freebies .
