Looking for a way to earn some spare cash for the holidays?
Well, if you’re in the U.K., and know of a company who is using pirated, unlicensed, or otherwise illegal software, you’re in luck. Just turn the company in to the Business Software Alliance (BSA), and they will pay you ten-percent of the value of any illegal software recovered, up to $37,000 (20,000 pounds).
According to the BSA, “Companies using illegal software run the greatest risk of being reported by current or former members of IT staff.”
The moral of this story is, of course: keep your IT staff happy.
[And, oh yes, of course, don’t use pirated software – but even if you don’t, you should still keep your IT staff happy.]

I’m no fan of corrupt, exploitative companies (and my God, there’s enough of the bloody sods) but wouldn’t it be better if people acted for slightly more altruistic reasons than simply to get their grubby little ‘mitts’ on some free money…
