One step away from way outside the line... (Score 1)

One of the questions we ask when we hire at my company is: "Tell me about a time when you face a value or ethical conflict at work. What did you do and what was the outcome". Now, you don't know the outcome yet, but frankly, I would applaud your efforts (at a minimum) for recognizing that this isn't right. Whether or not it's illegal isn't the question. Someone once said "it's not illegal until you get caught". Well, hang on for the ride. I can see your boss asking you to acquire counterfeit copies of software next. He's only a heartbeat away from that request. In summary - run, and run quickly. The economy may be in the toilet, but there are always jobs out there for people with high standards and ethics.
