Earn up to 10 K by reporting Software Piracy

After recently leaving a company, whose only licenced software was the OS, I came across this website
Am very tempted due to being shafted on 2 weeks pay, though its only a small company so I imagine the reward would be a lot less.

Has any MSEr done this? or would you do it?.

    The reward only comes after a successful court case. What if there was some accidental leak of the whistleblower's information. Will you be ok with that?

    good question - it's similar to reporting someone for benefit fraud. Would the person be able to cope with the fallout if their identity was discovered ?

    don't get me wrong, i'm not conding illegal activity in any aspect, but you do invariably find that anyone who "shops" someone invariably does it because of a personal grievance and not because it's the public spirited thing to do.
