How is software seen as a service?
Students might refer to the Software and Information Industry Association (SIIA) statement that the concept of software as a service is redefining the way that companies develop and deploy their information systems. SIIA also stated that many observers expect traditional packaged applications to be replaced by Web-based services that remove the responsibility for installation, maintenance, and upgrades from a company's in-house staff.
How does the FBI track piracy?
Because of the substantial losses to the recording industry as the result of piracy, the RIAA worked closely with the FBI to develop a new government seal and warning for placement on copyrighted music products in order to increase anti-piracy awareness. The new seal and warning are similar to the warning consumers were previously accustomed to viewing before a home movie on VHS or DVD. In late 2003, the FBI and the RIAA signed an agreement creating the new seal and warning and outlining the terms of their use. The FBI has expanded the program across different media content by entering into similar agreements with the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), the Business Software Alliance (BSA), the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA), and the Entertainment Software Association (ESA). This voluntary program provides the benefit of a unified approach to fighting piracy and provides the recording industry the opportunity to educate the music community and fans about the harms and risks of music piracy.
What do software companies say about the software piracy?
Most of the major software companies, often referred to as "Big Software" are represented by trade organizations like the Business Software Alliance (BSA) and the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA). These groups are primarily "watchdog" and lobbyist groups that seek to secure the best interests of the companies they represent. They hire top-notch attorneys to levy federal copyright laws against those entities who utilize software without proper licensing. And the law is completely on the side of the copyright holder. Thus, these groups have tremendous clout. The existence of these groups, in concert with the in-house legal and compliance enforcement departments of large software manufacturers all lead to one basic conclusion... Software companies strongly, strongly disagree with software piracy. G.C. Hutson, Chief Executive and Senior Partner Sadien Intellectual Property, Inc. http://www.Sadien.com
