Greetings!
Here on the east coast the calendar may say it's spring, but the snow in the forecast is saying "not so fast!"

This year we've been keeping busy hosting a variety of compliance and piracy events. Below you will find the most recent events and we are also planning for our annual License and Compliance Event and Reception in Waltham, MA.
The Unfair Competition Act and Its Impact on the Software Industry

Earlier this month, Abhi Joshi, Managing Director and US Leader for Software Asset Management at PricewaterhouseCoopers, joined V.i. Labs to discuss The Unfair Competition Act and how it affects software providers.  

 

The archive is now hosted on our website for on-demand viewing.  In it you will learn: 

  • Legislative Efforts: changes in the US law as states look to even the playing field for all manufacturers 
  • Consequences of Non-Compliance: notable cases, enforcement examples, and the affect non-compliance has on businesses
  • Opportunities for Software Vendors: how companies are driving revenue through true-ups from those wanting to stay compliant with the UCA
License Compliance & Software Piracy Panel Discussion featuring SIIA & FAST
In January we joined forces with SIIA (Software & Information Industry Association) and FAST (Federation Against Software Theft) for our third annual license compliance and software piracy panel.
          
The panel featured General Counsel from both organizations and is now available for viewing on our website.

Topics included:
  • Latest Trends: the most pirated products, geographic data and maps, recent settlements, and survey results
  • Notable Cases: cases making an impact on the license compliance and software piracy landscapes
  • Legislative Efforts: changes to copyright law and efforts to stem the tide of internet piracy
