Maybe you dont completely block the software in firewall so it phones home. Or you send someone a cad file which has metadata inside, they open it in legitimate software version and then it phones home your info. Or you connect pirated version to a network where is also another legitimate version which phones home.
Yes, you could say "just use simplewall and deny by default" or "run it in VM" or "dont send anyone cad filed created in pirated version". But that's not the point. The point of my question is, IF you make mistake and the software has a chance to phone home, how much danger there is?
Of course there is always some danger. That's why I am just asking about comparing Autodesk and Dassault and if it's possible to determinate that one is more eager to catch pirates than the other.
Thanks.
Lets say you pirate CAD software like Autodesk Inventor or Dassault Solidworks.
Which company is more aggressive toward pirates? Which software is more dangerous to pirate?
For example I heard Adobe is pretty lax about piracy and it's usually no big deal if you pirate Photoshop. So I wonder how it is with CAD companies.
I have seen a lot of posts about people receiving letter from Dassault about pirated Solidworks. But not so much about Autodesk. So I wonder if Autodesk software is safer to pirate than Dassault software.
Thanks for any advice or experience.
