The BSA declined to reveal the names of the companies involved, but its members include Adobe, Apple, Corel, Macromedia, Microsoft, Network Associates and Symantec.
According to a BSA spokesman, CD-ROM replicators are often legitimate firms, and it is the distribution that is managed by criminals.
The organistion has proposed specific CD-ROM copyright legislation to the European Parliament, which suggests closer supervision of manufacturers registration and licensing.
