What employees, other than the IT staff, would even know if their company is pirating software?

Wow I post my age and everyone wants to be my dada. I'm afraid it's only 12:18 here along the east coast.

I agree, but get used to it. I forsee in my crystal ball, that this will certainly be a way of life as the future unfolds.

If it's MS software, click HELP - ABOUT and see who the software is registered to ;)

If I wanted to get back at a former employer I'd synthesize some Composistion-4.

I can think of a few small companies that couldn't afford to operate with fully legit software on all their employee's PCs
sad but true

I often wonder, for example, if they lowered the OEM price of WinXP pro from ~$130 to, say, $75 or $50, if they would actually break even due to people just going out and buying it instead of pirating
