Another Press Release I missed. It is not important. News Release - Thursday, January 28, 1999 1/28/99 / 3:36:18 PM 191681 << Previous Thread Corel Commends BSA for Uncovering Europe's Largest-Ever Case of Software Counterfeiting Corel Corporation would like to commend the Business Software Alliance (BSA), which represents world-leading software developers like Corel, for shutting down the largest software counterfeit and Internet sales operation ever found in the European Union. The operation was based in Denmark, and contained 125,000 CD-ROMS full of US$237 million worth of BSA members' software, including software made by Corel. "We stand in full support of the BSA and applaud their efforts in shutting down this huge operation," said Dr. Michael Cowpland, president and chief executive officer of Corel. "The illegal copy and sale of software is an inherent problem in this industry and we are doing everything in our power to encourage people to go the proper route and use legal software." After receiving a number of calls on its Hotline, the BSA investigated and discovered that the CDs, containing software by Corel, Adobe, Autodesk, Microsoft and Symantec, were being sold on the Internet with the labels "Best of Internet," "Silverado" and "Vegas." It then turned the case over to the Danish National Computer Crime Unit who are now questioning several suspects. "The BSA is working hard to reduce the distribution of illegal software programs on the Internet," said Beth Scott, BSA's communications director in Europe. "This is very encouraging to the team we have working exclusively towards eliminating Internet piracy, and encouraging to the people in the industry who realize the impact this sort of thing has on employment and revenue generation."
