Hi all,

The company that I'm working now doesn't like to buy original software, and they made us sign a document that the company doesn't condone pirated software use.

Yet, when we request them to buy the original software essential for work, they will always KIV it. Financially, the company have no problem buying all the software needed, but the boss is really a tight ass. The boss knows that the software are essential for production, or else nothing can be produced.

So the question is, will I, the worker, get into trouble due to the pirated software with the copyright authority? Or will the company that will be held responsible for it?

Thanks.
