If anyone wants to rat out an ex-employer (or even current employer, but if you do, I would guess your status will quickly shift to ex-employee) for using fake software here is a little blurb from the Business Software Alliance. You could (Note: could) get up to $3,000,000 NT. Although the blurb seems to not mention this, the reward is only upon final conviction.
In case you are wondering about the dark faced person with the moon on his forehead, he is Judge Pao. Who was a real judge of the Song Dynasty who became a mythic icon for judicial integrity, diligence and intelligence. His face is traditionally darkened; it has nothing to do with racism.
Serious Warning:
Although I post this brochure for general interest and entertainment let me warn folks about something. DO NOT fuck around with this deal. If you report your employer and it turns out that you were wrong, or he beats the rap some how (which is quite likely, convictions for software theft in Taiwan are as rare as Loch Ness monster sightings) you could be staring down the barrel of a criminal slander suit that he files against you because you claimed he was stealing software. So do not dial the 800 number on a lark or just for laughs or drunk one night after you got jerked around by some bushiban.
So this is offered purely for entertainment value and to show a unique part of Taiwan’s Ancient and Esteemed Culture.
Judge Pao Brian
