In 2005 Novalogic was fined $153,500 by the Business Software Alliance after an audit found they had unlicensed copies of software by Adobe, Apple, Autodesk, FileMaker, Macromedia, Microsoft and Symantec. The BSA found out after someone rang their piracy hotline[6].

, with offices in Calabasas, CA, paid BSA a total of US$153,500 to settle claims that they had unlicensed copies of software programs installed on office computers.

In addition to making their payment, the company agreed to delete any unlicensed copies of software, purchase replacement software and strengthen their software management practices.

NovaLogic paid BSA the $153,500 fine after an audit revealed that it had unlicensed Adobe, Apple, Autodesk, FileMaker, Macromedia, Microsoft and Symantec software programs on its computers. Most investigations begin with a call to BSA's hotline, 1-888-NO PIRACY, or with a report to BSA's Online Reporting Form. BSA's attorneys contacted the organization, which cooperated and conducted audits.
