BSA targets Manchester, UK
The Business Software Alliance has launched a campaign to target software piracy in Manchester, UK. According to the licensing watchdog, the city has the worst piracy rate in the UK outside of London.
During May and June, Manchester businesses will be asked to take part in a “software healthcheck” to assess their own status.
The BSA says that companies that take part in the healthceck will not face further investigation, while those that do not participate may find themselves the recipients from an unwelcome visitor.
In the UK, software license enforcement now comes under the remit of Trading Standards, which has the power to raid businesses suspected of committing software piracy.
