[Humor] BSA is A Bit Misguided...

The Business Software Alliance (BSA) is an organization of software companies to promote their interests - such as combating software piracy. Tonight, I saw a funny advertisement from the group on digg.



First of all, digg is hardly the prime site for users sympathetic to their cause. Stories lambasting the RIAA or promoting BitTorrent are often promoted to the front page. Yet, I thought the animated ad deserved a click to see what the $200,000 bounty was all about.



Not only is this silly site advertised to those most likely to be downloading illegal content, but it asks people to not only turn others in for a prize, but to report their bosses, as well. Imagine the executive that thought this up. He is so deluded by the lawyers whispering in his ear that he thinks people will shill for him. Does anyone honestly expect someone to turn in their company for pirating software? Or to send the link of The Pirate Bay for indexing torrents?

Thanks for the laugh, BSA.
