Software Piracy

Software piracy (the illegal copying of software programs) is a worldwide problem — more than $11 billion is lost to piracy every year. Because software is valuable, and it is easy to create an exact copy of a program from a single computer, software piracy is widespread.

The illegal copying of software programs is a crime! In the United States and many other countries, copyright law provides for severe civil and criminal penalties for the unauthorized reproduction or distribution of copyrighted material. Copyrighted material includes, but is not limited to, computer programs and accompanying sounds, images and text. Under U.S. law, infringement may result in civil damages of up to $150,000 and/or criminal penalties of up to five years imprisonment and/or a $250,000 fine.

Please join Apple in its piracy prevention efforts. You can report incidents of software piracy from this site at Report Piracy. Also, you can help your business avoid serious problems with sound software asset management practices as explained in the section below.

Well there is nothing we can do about that here on our end. That's why you could report it to the address above. I think it's a bit of a faux pas to post someone's personal info here.... Besides you just make it easier for those seeking illegal downloads to obtain the archives.

Do you mind me asking how you found out that info on that IP address?

I went here:

Then put the IP address into the IP Information box and hit Enter.

Agree, and would normally never do such a thing. But have no reservation about exposing a crook. Rampant software theft is why Photoshop (for example) costs $650 instead $250. You can apply that to clothes, building materials, anything. Theft loss is passed on to the honest people who pay for the things they buy.
