First I want to say I agree with Rusty that this is a lawyer's dream.
Keith Smith already posted text from the legislature saying the
software is valuable enough for this to qualify as a class 2 felony.
You didn't say who did this, but if it's a friend or relative, I'd
suggest you advise them to get rid of the software immediately. Why?
Because somebody else could call the business software alliance, turn
them in and get a big reward.
If it's somebody you don't particularly like, you can be the one to make
the call and get the reward.
Just my 2 cents worth. That's actually $1.98 including tax.

What do you call it (technical name) when a company installs $45,000

and reverse engineers the software and removes the the evaluation
restrictions, without paying for it?
Anyone know if this would this be considered a felony?
