Ernst & Young has an interesting report on their Global website that provides an update on the status of illegal software use in business and how it relates to unfair competition legislation. The relationship was not always apparent. However, the US has been insisting in recent years that companies doing business in the US must be complaint with their unfair competition legislation, which includes unfair use of IT, such as software.
Use of unlicensed software has been an issue since IT went mainstream. Over time, legislation has been updated to take it into account, and the unfair competition legislation is a case in point.
The report outlines how companies can use their compliance to improve their competitive position. It also provides three examples of companies that have taken positive steps in this area.
The report is on the E&Y Website.
