Company employees used pirated software privately and were discovered by software companies. The lawyer sent a letter, but the company didn't want to buy this software. How did it end?

Many enterprises will buy genuine software, which may not be enough, or some employees are accustomed to the operation of other software, so there are cases where employees download pirated software for their own use. The discussion on this issue can be analyzed through cases and laws. ?

The use of pirated software by employees of enterprises will not only make enterprises face legal risks brought by software copyright infringement, but also the pirated software itself may carry malicious software and damage the network security of enterprises. In order to avoid these problems, enterprises can adopt the following methods:

1, the enterprise timely statistics to buy a suitable number of genuine software, and keep the certificate.

2. Establish a management system that prohibits the use of pirated software, conduct relevant notification training and leave traces.

3 strengthen the daily management of enterprises, investigate and deal with the installation and use of pirated software in a timely manner, and keep relevant records.

4. Use technical means to install control software, so that computers in the enterprise can download the software through a specific software library before installing it, and automatically scan and detect pirated software. Once found, cut off communication and remotely uninstall.

(1) The dispute between Siemens Product Lifecycle Management Software Co., Ltd. and Wuhan Degeber Surgical Implant Co., Ltd. about infringement of computer software copyright ((20 17) E 0 1 No.3999 in the early Republic of China).

Siemens Product Lifecycle Management Software Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Siemens Company") is the author of NX (commonly known as UG software in the industry) series of computer software works involved, and sued Wuhan Delibo Surgical Implant Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Delibo Company") for copying, installing and using NX computer software for a long time without its permission, infringing its computer software copyright. The plaintiff applied to our court to stop serving the copy of the complaint and apply for evidence preservation. After deliberation, the collegial panel of our hospital ruled that it was allowed and implemented on the same day.

During the trial, Degeber Company argued that the software complained by the plaintiff was actually provided by the training company during the training of a few employees of the company, and was downloaded and installed in public office computers by employees privately, and the responsibility should be borne by individuals, and the company should not bear the tort liability in this case.

The court held that the company is the organizer of the training program, the training object serves the company, and the training benefits belong to the company. For the purpose of software business training, Degebel Company should purchase teaching software for training employees. But in actual training.

Instead of purchasing, employees of participating units download and copy teaching-related software provided by training institutions privately, and install copies of these software on office computer terminals, which is huge. This kind of behavior is obviously beyond the personal learning scope of the trained employees. The purpose of appreciation and research has the nature of commercial utilization.
