The law enforcement agencies in a recent drive have recovered 69 laptops installed with pirated software of Microsoft from Flora Telecom and nabbed two persons in this connection.
Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Task Force and Copyright officials discovered the pirated items during the raid against the reputed retail outlet located in Gulshan 1 area.
The company is suspected of installation, supply and sale of pirated and illegal computer software.
The raid was pursuant to an investigation on a series of retail outlets for over a month by the IPR Task Force and the law enforcement agencies.
Flora employees openly admitted to RAB that they were dealing with pirated software.
Over the past years, the Copyright Office published a series of newspaper advertisements to create awareness about the legal implications of selling pirated goods.
Unfortunately, retailers ignored the government efforts to protect copyright in Bangladesh.
Md Manzurur Rahman, convener of the IPR Task Force, said there have been numerous efforts by the government to warn and educate retailers, but to no avail.
“We are now embarking on action against the entities selling or dealing in pirated and unlicenced software, and want to remind companies that their pirated software business is infringement of copyright law.”   Read More …    [/su_column] [/su_row]
