If your company isn’t paying you enough money, you can rat them out for using pirated software to the Business Software Alliance. The BSA is promising “up to $1 million” reward for reporting companies with pirated software, up from their previous payout limit of $200,000. Don’t get your hopes up for retirement as Techdirt reports the BSA has only paid out $15,000 to three people since announcing any reward. It’s not illegal since the BSA says they’ll pay “up to” and only they get to decide how much to give.

Now Techdirt is offering a $1 million reward for anyone who can prove the BSA will pay out the $1 million. Anyone wanna place bets (oh, I forgot, online gambling is illegal)?
