Piracy BSA initiates legal action for`piracy' Our Bureau
Coimbatore , Feb. 27 Business Software Alliance (BSA) has alleged the Delhi-based Icon Multimedia Systems of distributing pirated software of Microsoft and Avid Technologies. Highlighting the details of a legal action, a BSA release said that the Delhi High Court had on January 29, granted an ex-parte interim injunction restraining Icon Multimedia from copying/reproducing, selling or loading any pirated version of the Microsoft and Avid Technologies software. Commenting on the case, the BSA co-Chairman for India, Mr Ajay Advani, said the raid and subsequent seizure should serve as an example to the dealer community. "It is illegal," he said and added that a 10-point reduction in software piracy would add 115,847 jobs, contribute $5.9 billion to GDP, $386 million in taxes and $8.2 billion in revenues to local vendors in India alone.
