The directors of IRM Training and Multimedia (IRM) failed to respond to ZDNet Australia enquiries by the time of publication. According to the BSAA, IRM and its directors, Barry Hollingsworth and Derrick Brown, agreed to the settlement after they were discovered using illegal software from Adobe, Autodesk, Macromedia and Microsoft.
"The fact that IRM was a Federal Government-endorsed supplier and its courses were endorsed by the Australian Computer Society, makes its use of illegal software even more repugnant. An organisation that is an active part of the IT industry should lead by example and actively manage its software assets," said BSAA Chairman, Jim Macnamara, in a statement.

I can not argue with Macnamara's statement.
Have these pirates never heard of open source software?
