Can I turn in one of my friends for this... 1 million dollar reward? I never did like him one bit anyway.

ok,let's start here on neowin ^^

This is going to be effective.

blah now? I turned someone in that was running a FTP ring for "warez" a couple years ago and all I got was a "thank you for helping out"

They're trying to get employees to turn in their bosses? Good luck with that.
Let's see: Loose my job and maybe collect a reward or shut up and keep my job. Hrmmm. I don't think it's a hard choice.

the BSA is full of BS

no thanks, I prefer living my current quiet life, doing my things. Money really **** your mind, when they come all at once and at that amount.

they'll probably end up turning around and filing a law suit against you for knowing about it and not telling them earlier lol

Actually, they cant do that. Piracy is selling illegal stuff, not knowing about it. If they sue you, you will surely win and after that you can sue them for making you feel depressed, stressed and you can get a lot of money.

BSA's logo is "be sure it is legal". Well, I think 99,99999999% of the people will say "be sure to get it free".

'Reporting piracy is the right thing to do'?

They should take the reward money and fund all the poor slobs who get sacked when their small shops running pirated software have to decide between having workers and having Genuine Official Real Software ™

B$A (Bull$hitAlliance).

one its a business incentive.. so your employer who has 50 computers all running illegal copies of Microsoft XP, Office and Adobe Pro gets busted. Its not the guy across the street who downloads the occasional software release instead of buying it.

So if your going to turn in your employer, they better have a lot of counterfeit software running for you to get your reward - cause I can assure you, your job is toast.

Glad to see people's opposition to the BSA. That "alliance" and their tactics rank up there with the MPAA and RIAA.

So they can afford to give snitches a million dollars. Those companies really are losing a lot of money!

You can't have the BSA without the BS... That should be their new slogan.

lol, i got a good laugh over the "A “Million” Reasons for Compliance"

The Business Pirate Alliance, the global organization representing the unnation’s leading software pirates, will intensify efforts to publish software piracy in the workplace by increasing its current rewards incentive from 2gb to all you can download from July to October 2007. Individuals can submit a confidential report (alas good sites) by visiting --any open forum with a nice and not-nazi mod-- or calling 1-888 YES PIRACY. The BPA is also launching “Blowjob,” a international advertising campaign that encourages employees to report (and sharing) software piracy (also good pron sites). The campaign will commence in July with national shoutcast (podtcast) and online advertisements.

“Reporting and sharing software piracy is the right thing to do and BPA is pleased to reward individuals who come forward with credible information (good sites not ****ty paid for download or full of ads) . BPA will diligently continue helping software piracy and we hope the Rewards (good downloads) incentive goes a long way in helping us. Businesses often have a million excuses for having unlicensed software on office computers and it's true and justified. BSA is now offering up to a million of downloads for GOOD employees who help with it.

Screw moral values all that matters nowadays is money.

This is the legal way of practising corruption.
