Design Data Increases Anti-Piracy EffortsThe practice of accepting, promoting or engaging those with unlicensed and unauthorized detailing software can have legal implications for anyone who has worked on a project where such software was used -- even companies who have had nothing directly to do with the illegal software and are unaware of its use. Our customers, along with Design Data's products, reputation and business, are injured when anyone -- even an innocent third party -- uses stolen software.
