Foundstone Faces Software Piracy Allegations and Reputation Risks

It has been accused of widespread software piracy by a leading industry trade group, FORTUNE has learned--charges corroborated by current and former Foundstone employees and by computer printouts obtained by the magazine. The trade group, the Software & Information Industry Association, informed Kurtz by letter in May that it intended to pursue copyright-infringement charges against Foundstone. It acted after a confidential source alleged that McClure and Gary Bahadur, Foundstone's chief information officer, routinely spread unlicensed software to the company's 125-member workforce; that Kurtz was aware of that practice; and that in early April the CEO ordered his staff to delete unlicensed software from their computers. "They're gambling with their reputation," says Keith Kupferschmid, head of the association's antipiracy unit, which investigated and found the allegations credible. "That's not a smart thing to do." Kurtz vehemently denies the company engaged in piracy. "We have strict policies against piracy," he says. "We take intellectual property very seriously, given that we are a software company." He adds that Foundstone conducted an internal audit in April, "and we're in compliance." The link for this article located at Fortune is no longer available. . ... it doesn't take the skills of a hacker to see that Foundstone, a privately owned $20-million-a-y. doesn't, skills, hacker, foundstone, privately, owned, $20-million-a-y. .
