More on Business Software Alliance
Description from Wikipedia:
The Business Software Alliance (BSA) is a trade group established in 1988 and representing a number of the world's largest software makers. Its principal activity is trying to stop copyright infringement of software produced by its members—an activity it claims, using a lost sales metric, to cost the software industry over US$11 billion each year.
It is funded through membership dues based on member company's software revenues, and through settlements from companies it successfully brings action against.
