Wasatch Software wants to inform organizations of the legal risks involved with software licensing by sponsoring 'Software License Awareness Day' on April 10. Software license agents from Wasatch Software will be available throughout 'Software License Awareness Day' to help address any potential issues for organizations interested in participating.
The use of software without proper licensing is a copyright infringement. If a software publisher brings civil action against an organization, it may face up to $150,000 in damages for each software program being used illegally. Also, organizations of all sizes can be held liable for employees' actions even if management was not aware.

    Spencer Ferguson, President of Wasatch Software, stated: "If your organization faces a software piracy issue it is best to start fixing it right away, even if you must do it slowly. Many companies can obtain financing, allowing them to spread the cost of getting legit over time. Even the purchase of a few software licenses each month can make a big difference." If your company is at risk you may feel overwhelmed. A legitimate software licensing can be expensive.

    The Business Software Alliance (BSA) is an organization that helps software companies fight piracy. They estimated that the United States faces a piracy rate of 21%. Software license agents from Wasatch Software are available throughout 'Software License Awareness Day' to help everybody address any potential issues on a confidential basis.
