as literary, musical, dramatic, pantomime and choreography, pictorial,
graphic, sculptural, computer programs, motion pictures, and sound recordings.

Infobank actively and aggressively enforces its intellectual property rights to the fullest extent of the law. Infobank works closely with the Software Publishers Association (SPA) and the Business Software Alliance (BSA) to combat software piracy worldwide.
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 Infobank 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.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at mailto:piracy@infobank.com
It is important to manage software well, just as you would
any other valuable company asset, in order to avoid serious problems.
Infobank aggressively enforces our company's proprietary rights under
the U.S. copyright laws, but we know that poor software asset management
often keeps people from complying with the law.
For more information and tools to help your business by practicing sound
software asset management practices, please refer to the BSA (http://www.bsa.org/)
and/or the SIIA (http://www.siia.net/)
web sites for further guidance and information.
