SIIA Extends Piracy Dragnet to Europe
,----[ Quote ]
| Five months after expanded its policing of
| counterfeit software applications to
| Europe, the Software and Information
| Industry Association (SIIA) has filed a
| trio of lawsuits in Germany and the UK
| accusing online sellers of hawking stolen
| or knock-off versions of Adobe Systems'
| applications on eBay.
|
| SIIA, a trade association representing
| roughly 500 software and digital content
| companies, has been on a mission to
| eliminate or at least reduce the rampant
| sale of stolen or counterfeit software on
| popular e-commerce sites -- most notably
| eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY).
