New York, NY: (Jan-18-08) The Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) brought charges against Whittiker Legal Publishing, alleging that the New York-based publishing firm installed and used multiple copies of the association's member companies' software without proper licenses. The suit was filed on behalf of several prominent software vendors. The suit, filed in the Eastern District of New York, reached settlement after Whittiker Legal Publishing agreed to pay $500,000 to resolve the copyright infringement allegations. Apart from the monetary payout, the company agreed to destroy all unlicensed copies of the Adobe, FileMaker and Symantec applications in its possession. Company officials claimed that the violations brought to its attention were accidental and that it was unaware that it was infringing on the various software firms' copyrights.
