Piracy Prevention

Riskturn actively and aggressively enforces its intellectual property rights to the fullest extent of the law. Any feedback you provide at this site shall be deemed to be non-confidential. Riskturn shall be free to use such information on an unrestricted basis.

Software Piracy

Software piracy (the illegal copying of software programs) is a worldwide problem — more than $11 billion is lost to piracy every year. Because software is valuable, software piracy is widespread.

Software Asset Management

It is important to manage software well, just as you would any other valuable company asset, in order to avoid serious problems. Riskturn aggressively enforces our company’s proprietary rights under the U.S. copyright laws, but we know that poor software asset management often keeps people from complying with the law.
