Risks of using pirated software

  • Pirated software often lacks the important elements, documentation, and
    comes with no warranty protection or upgrade options;
  • Counterfeit disks may be infected with viruses that will damage your hard
    drive or cripple your network, without the benefit of technical support;
  • Copying or using illegally copied software puts your company at risk for
    copyright infringement;
  • Pirated software that is not functional, or that contains viruses, wastes
    company resources, and drives up IT costs;
  • May lead to civil penalties and/or criminal prosecution;
  • Negative PR about your company could result from the civil penalties
    and/or criminal prosecution.
