BSA calls out executives for unlicensed softwareThe Microsoft-backed Software Alliance (BSA) is calling on Thai chief executives to stop using unlicensed software for business operations to step up data protection. While the BSA commends progress in Thailand on the enforcement of copyright laws and increased use of licensed software in the private sector, more than half of corporations in Thailand still use unlicensed software. The solution, according to the software industry, includes increased enforcement of the Thai Copyright Act, such as conducting raids of companies using illegal software with greater frequency on a nationwide scale. The BSA also wants a hands-on effort by chief executives and senior leadership to self-police use of software in Thailand. Chief executives can do a better job of sending the message that using illegal software is not acceptable."
