Submission + - Is piracy at a large company a safe haven?
An anonymous reader writes: Perhaps I have not kept up with the latest news about how the Music Industry has been approaching piracy, but it seems to me that they are mostly interested in persuing those that will cave in quickly or who are sharing to a very large audience (by on-line distribution, for instance). I wonder if the Music Industriy is hesitant to investigate piracy inside companies that are large enough to have expert lawyers on retainer. Even when is clearly against official company policy, I have seen numerous instances where employees at said companies will readily and openly share their collections of ripped music (or movies) with others. Perhaps the employees feel insulated from any fallout. Perhaps they don't even think about it.
I am wrong in this perception? Have I missed reports of cases where the Music Industry has come down hard on companies with internal piracy? Or do these companies get to quietly iron out the issues to avoid publicity? Is such internal piracy happening at places you know?
Your thoughts? I know you have them.
