UK: Crackdown on Corporate P2P Usage

Via OUT-LAW.com.

The Federation Against Software Theft is about to take action against a number of companies in the UK that have been caught making illegal copies of software available for download from their networks – which may come as a complete surprise to the companies.

The Federation isn't naming the companies yet. Director General John Lovelock told OUT-LAW today that a plan of attack is being finalised; but Lovelock expects the companies to be named and shamed in due course. "This isn't about the money," he says. "It's about the principle of stopping IP theft."
