The Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) will now reward you with $500, if you catch software pirate red handed. If you purchase counterfeit software from online auction sites like eBay, then you might be eligible for this reward.
SIIA calls this campaign as "Don’t Get Mad, Get Even", and it will run from December 13, 2007 to January 30, 2008:
The first 100 individuals who inadvertently purchase counterfeit software on an auction site, complete an application to participate in the "Don’t Get Mad, Get Even" program, submit the application to SIIA by no later than 5 pm EST January 30, 2008 and satisfy all the eligibility requirements necessary to participate in the program, will be eligible to receive up to $500 from SIIA. The payment is intended to help the buyer purchase a legitimate copy of the software.
The counterfeit software must be from a company who has partnered with SIIA. Microsoft has not partnered with SIIA, which means… you won’t be eligible for $500, if you just purchased pirated copy of Vista from eBay. However, their partners list does include some big names like Apple, Adobe, Nero, Symantec and McAfee. Go try your luck on eBay to spot some pirated software!
