Illegal autocad???

What would happen if I'd report that some company is using illegal copy of
autocad?

Do you mean between you and Autodesk, or between you and the company in
question?

If the former, you could call 1-800-NO-COPIES and ask I suppose.

 

It depends to who you report the facts to, if it's your neibourgh, it's
ok
It depends on the purpose and if you wish your move remains secret or
not...

If someone was burglarizing your neighbor or local business, do you
ignore it or report it?

 

I expect Autodesk would investigate, count the illegal copies and
settle "out of court" by having the company buy the same number of
copies at the full list price. <BTW> I've heard stories of techies
that run "bounty hunter" software and find the illegal AutoCADs on hard
disks while the puter's in the shop. They get a substantial reward
(I'd guess $500) for catching the theif.

 

Why don't you send them an email saying they have been reported and scare
the bejesus out of them. Maybe cost them some bucks to regroup. Make it look
good and official.

And give them an alternative. (Intellicad, that's free)
