If a user illegally installs software on their home computer, they are held liable.

If the company has masterminded the illegal installation of software (i.e., they told the employees to do it), they will most likely be held liable. If an employee illegally installs software on a company computer, the installer will be held liable, but the company might also be held liable, depending on the circumstances and the degree to which the company was involved. The court sentence varies, but in the U.S. it is a maximum of 5 years in prison and/or a $250,000 fine.
