Here nobody is spared. That they catch a multinational that persecutes the counterfeiting of its products all over the world, making use of pirated software to avoid paying the corresponding license seems like a joke that in reality it is not. Quest, the company that has sued Nike, is a company that is dedicated to creating databases for its management in the cloud and is focused on the business world.
After conducting an audit, Quest can verify how the multinational used your software illegally, using password generators that circulate on the Internet and that are available to everyone. Although the company kindly requested Nike to regularize the situation, it refused. Solution: a lawsuit.
Nike contracted for Quest's services in 2001, and since then the sportswear and apparel manufacturer has been purchasing a number of licenses from the company to use its service. But after the audit carried out by the company, I detect that a large number of teams they were using a key generator to activate the services that Quest offers to its clients in the cloud.
In the lawsuit, Quest sues Nike for infringe intellectual property rights in addition to breaking the agreement they reached in 2001 when they began to work together. As expected, Quest not only requests financial compensation but also requires that all computers that have a pirated version of Quest installed legally acquire its license.
Nike has not commented on the matterPresumably, they will be preparing a statement to try to explain how they make use of pirated applications, thus promoting piracy when their products are the most counterfeit in the world and each year they spend hundreds of millions of dollars to prevent copies of their products. reach the markets.
