Sony BMG Being Sued For Using Pirated Software

Sony BMG, a company known for enforcing its intellectual property rights, is now on the other end of an Intellecutal Property related lawsuit. A French report says the complaining company, PointDev, seized some of Sonys assets which showed that pirated software appeared on four of their servers.

In Google's translation of the French report, the CEO of PointDev when questioned about the fact that this is perhaps the single of an employee retorted "I think piracy is linked to the policy of a company. If the employee has the necessary funding to buy the software they need, it will. If this is not the case, he will find alternative ways, as the work must be done in one way or another."
