Oman Police Seize 20,000 Pirated Computer Programs...


Somewhere in Omani (where the hell is that?) the police have seized more than 20,000 computer programs and several PC's from a major reseller in the Gulf Arab.

The Business Software Alliance (BSA) official told Reuters that the haul was the biggest since Oman intensified its crackdown on copyright violations in 1999. He did not say when the raid was conducted.

U.S. industry giant Microsoft Corp said last year that computer software piracy in the Middle East costs the company about $100 million and $12 billion worldwide.
