If you suspect you have been sold illegal software, the first thing to do is to return the product to the place of purchase and ask for a legitimate replacement product or verification that the product you purchased is legal. If the vendor refuses to help you, ask for your money back, and a find a legitimate dealer.

If the vendor refuses to give you a refund, report their actions to your local Consumer Affairs office and contact the Software Publishers Association anti-piracy department via phone at (202) 452 1600 or via email at piracy@spa.org. You can also contact the SPA via mail at Software Publishers Association, 1730 M Street, N.W., Suite 700, Washington, D.C. 20036, U.S.A., or you can click on the SPA Anti-Piracy button below.
