BSA Takes A Page From The RIAA: 'Fess Up For Amnesty
from the why-bother? dept
Looks like the software industry's BSA is taking a page from the RIAA and are offering some form of "amnesty" to anyone who 'fesses up about using unauthorized software. Silicon.com takes a look at the offer and wonders who would possibly bother? All you're really doing is alerting the BSA to keep an eye on you in the future. And, in the case where you actually bought software that you thought was legit, but cheap, then you're forced to go out and buy another copy of the legit software. Not very enticing.

Nothing New...
At one point, they used to claim their vans could "detect" piracy, and they were offering limited amnesty if you came down and signed on. And it works!
