I didnt think about that. Good point. Counter would be BSA. They tip employees to reveal stuff like that. They could visit each Global 2000 to pay employees for info on what software was used and how often. Plus network fingerprinting. Just collecting first years fees as payment would cover cost of BSA and payouts.

That would only work in countries where organizations like BSA do exist and are actually effective.

Which isn't the case in many countries.

Another good point. I might have to think further on it.
