OK I'm pissed at my job and all the scumbags in charge here. It's a known fact amongst everyone here that we are using ILLEGAL copies of software. In fact I think the only programs we do own are Quark 4.1 and Photoshop 4!!
I really want to get these guys back. Someone told me that you can report to bsa.org and they'll investigate.Should I do this and stick it to the man? Or just eat it and peacefully look for another job?
Your thoughts are appreciated :)

fade into the sunset and get on with your life...
no need to make more of a mess out of the current mess.
are you sure they don't own a gun? those fines i hear are HUGE so you better be sure those guys aren't mental and come after you.

it would be more fun to stick potatoes up their exhaust pipes and watch their cars blow up when they drive off.
(actually we used to do that to teachers cars at school, cept we used clay from the art rooms ehehe)

eat it - if word got around of what had happened, no-one would trust you again.
every company has it's bad points, most have tyhe odd bit of dodgy or underlicenced software - none would hire you if they thought you would shop them if you got a bit peeved at work

HA! I can't believe what I'm hearing!!! I believe if anyone was in the situation to stick it to their evil boss they would!!
To reemphasize: THEY STEAL SOFTWARE AND USE IT TO MAKE MONEY!
That makes it more expensive for honest people like you and I ;) to buy software.
I for one am tired of the big-wigs always taking advantage of the smarter, logical and hard working employees so they can feel like they have big balls!

errm just what do you stand to gain from being a pathetic little snitch? Why dont you concentrate on asking for more money or getting another job, something that will actually better you rather than give you 2 seconds of hollow spiteful appeasement.

Oh yeah and BSA keep all reports anonymous! So no one can find out it was me!!
This place has screwed over a bunch of people so that it would be near impossible to pin point the whistle blower!!

I say report them. Welcome to the real world. We all gotta pay.

well my boss is a twat but i'm not going to get my own back on him on some illegal shit that company is into - nothing to with me and it's just totally immature
get over it before you get into trouble - they will probably get their comeuppance anyway!

everything in life is a circle. it all comes back to you. like a boomerang.... but a circle. whatever.
i worked for a company that totally f-ed me over. i wanted to get back so bad but didn't. i feel better now cause in the end i moved on to bigger and better things and they went under and the two top guys got divorces and lost everything. it all comes back in the end.
