The Business Software Alliance (BSA) has doubled the money it will give to anyone telling tales on software pirates.
Originally, the BSA gave rewards to those who shared details of their employer's or ex-employer's illegal software of up to 10 per cent of the value of the software recovered. The BSA had previously set a ceiling of £10,000 for the handouts, which has now been doubled to £20,000.
The £20,000 bounty will be available until the end of the year and anyone wanting to blow the whistle will be kept anonymous. Reports can be submitted here.
The UK's software piracy rate currently stands at 29 per cent, according to analyst house IDC.
Siobhan Carroll, regional manager for northern Europe, said she hoped the increased bonus will serve to increase awareness of the dangers of software piracy.
