Submission + - Turn in a software pirate, collect $500 1

Submitted by Stony Stevenson
Stony Stevenson writes: The Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) is offering consumers up to $500 for reporting software counterfeiters who sell their goods on online auction sites like eBay. Under the plan, anyone who unwittingly buys fake software from an online fraudster can receive up to $500 if they report the scam. SIIA said the program is a "don't get mad, get even" approach to stopping software piracy. It's "a way for unsuspecting buyers to get even with auction sellers who rip them off," said SIIA VP Keith Kupferschmid. The campaign, launched December 13, is slated to run through January 30, 2008.

    Heck, if the person is a spammer just tell me where to forward the spamvertisements to and I'll do it for free.

    If the person is not evil but just making a mistake they'll have to offer the person forgiveness before I'd rat him out.
