Sony BMG Sued for Software Piracy - Assets Seized
Date : 2008 03 28 Category : Web News
Sony BMG, a company known for enforcing its intellectual property rights, is now facing the other end of an Intellectual Property related lawsuit. A report (French) says the complaining company, PointDev, seized some of Sonys assets which revealed that the pirated software appeared on four of their servers.
PointDev, a small software company, mandated a bailiff to raid one of Sony BMGs owned building in January this year. The raid revealed that four of the Sony BMGs owned servers contained the pirated software.
It appears as though the company discovered this when an IT department employee requested assistance for the use of a product called Ideal Migration.
