BSA fines six firms for software mis-use
The Business Software Alliance (BSA) has fined six US companies for using unlicensed software. Three financial services firms have paid the industry watchdog nearly half a million dollars between them. Three more firms, all based in the New York area, were also caught using illegal software, and have paid a further $269,000 in fines.
As part of the settlement, all six firms have had to promise to improve their software management processes in order to avoid future mis-use.
