NBI raids company using pirated software

The Philippine Star

The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has scored anew in its anti-piracy campaign with the recent confiscation of some P2.5 million worth of personal computers using unlicensed software from a computer solutions company in Makati City.

Agents of the NBI Intellectual Property Rights Division said they seized computer units allegedly carrying unauthorized AutoCAD software from the office of T & S Global Solution Inc. (TSGSI) last Feb. 1.

Lawyer Jose Justo Yap, chief of NBI – IPRD, said the case stemmed from a complaint of Autodesk, Inc., owner of the software. The company said it did not issue a permit to TSGSI to use its programs.

Yap said charges of copyright infringement are being readied against TSGSI. – Edu Punay
