CFO Convicted in Corporate Software Piracy Case
Long-Running Investigation Concludes with Stiff Criminal Penalty
Defendant Faces Years in Prison for Violation of Copyright Statutes
In a landmark case for the software industry, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of a major software company has been convicted of copyright piracy.
The CFO, who has not yet been sentenced, faces a potential prison sentence of up to 10 years.
The conviction is the culmination of a years-long investigation by the FBI and the United States Attorney's Office.
According to the indictment, the CFO was responsible for overseeing the company's software licensing operations.
However, he is alleged to have authorized the company to use pirated software on thousands of computers.
The company has since settled with the software company for an undisclosed amount of money.
