LONDON BRIDGE IS PAYING UP ...

-

The Register brings news of a settlement of a copyright infringement claim against London-based debt recovery software specialists London Bridge Software (LBS). It seems LBS has paid up £39,500 for using unlicensed software. The claim was brought on behalf of various software owners by the Business Software Alliance (BSA), according to whom LBS was quick to reach a settlement because of the embarrassment factor. The action followed an investigation after a tip-off received via the BSA's website.

The IPKat notes that last month the BSA doubled the maximum reward for reporting illegal software use from £10,000 to £20,000, in a campaign running until the end of the year and wonders if we will see a proportionate increase in BSA-led actions against the use of unlicensed software.

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
