As piracy becomes more of an issue, more remedies are being experimented with and pursued to stop the growing epidemic. Recently, the SIIA won a pretty big case against software pirates, which definitely shows a sign of progress to their anti-piracy campaign.

Two more software pirates are out of the application booty business.

The Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA), which doggedly pursues people who sell pirated software for a discount, said this week that it settled with two defendants who were illegally selling Symantec software through eBay.

Kevin Liu and G.T. Tian, two New Jersey-based defendants in the Symantec Corporation v. Kevin Liu, et al. suit, paid $100,000 in damages, and vowed to stop selling illegal software.

Liu and Tian also provided SIIA with records identifying their customers and suppliers of the pirated software; SIIA said it will be pursuing those sources to prevent any further sale of illegal product from them.[more]
