Wait a minute. It looks like maybe we’re having a direct impact on the enforcement industry. Since we started communicating with one another and working to PROACTIVELY maintain software license compliance, both of the independent enforcement groups in the U.S. have begun offering rewards "for information leading to…yadda-yadda”.
Now, in the latest instance of “let’s sue ‘em into submission”, the American softare police have upped their rewards--for the third time in less than 30 months--to a ludicrous $1,000,000! So? Is this the thanks that the software industry is giving American businesses for having some of the lowest piracy figures in the world? Does anyone out there, besides me, think that this enforcement game is getting entirely out of hand?

How can I eliminate the trend of managing by crisis in my organization?
Nearly every company does it. Apparently a large percentage of people define their value to the company by how busy they are or how well they appear to be managing corporate events. A great way to enhance this appearance is to treat virtually every event as if it were a crisis. When we do this our efforts seem to be much more impressive than when we "merely" manage in a proactive manner.

A whistleblower has successfully used the American False Claims Act to tap a software publisher and reap a $17.3 million reward. The actual federal settlement of $98.5 million (USD) was the result of (alleged?) sharp practices on the part of Peoplesoft from 1997 to 2005—prior to the Oracle takeover. Let’s take a look at the ways that this type of activity can apply to your company.
