Here's the news :
Thirty-year-old Muscovite Alexander Zinoviev was sentenced by the Khimki city court to two years in prison for two years probation for installing pirated software, Interfax reports.
According to investigators, in July 2008, Alexander Zinoviev installed counterfeit versions of Microsoft, 1C, and Adobe software on ten computers at a school in Khimki. As a result, copyright holders suffered damage in the amount of 443 thousand rubles.
Considering that more than 90% of people in Russia have unlicensed programs on a computer, now everything is under the threat of a court and a criminal term. Use case created.
Please note that he did not install the software on a home computer, but on computers at school. So if you are an admin and install unlicensed software, you will be responsible for everything, not the one who does not want to pay for it.
