SmartFlow CEO Ted Miracco delivered the keynote at the REUSE Conference on December 14 in Santa Clara, CA. In a video interview with conference organizer Warren Savage, general manager of IP at EDA company Silvaco, Ted talks about the global problem of software and IP piracy and the dangers it presents when using cracked software. Any software company that doesn't have an active license compliance program really needs to consider putting one in place. This not only protects licensed customers from unfair competition, it also protects legitimate organizations from accidental or inadvertent piracy by employees who, unknown to the company, download software that has malware in it and open up the company’s entire network to viruses, or worse, open a back door where the company’s IP can be stolen.
