Partners in piracy prevention
Adobe works with several organizations around the world to prevent software piracy. These organizations act as industry watchdogs to identify and prosecute offenders, create legislation to protect software manufacturers, provide tools to identify unlicensed software, and provide useful information to help organizations stay compliant.
