How can I tell whether computer software purchased from the Internet is pirated or legitimate?
• Try to make purchase at well-known and credible web sites. One can also ask the software publishers for authorize web sites. By all means seek the best price for the product; but if the price is no more than a fraction of the price for which an authorized version of the product is normally sold, this is a clue that the copy may be pirated. If in doubt, approach the copyright owner for additional information or call BSA’s hotline.
