How can I narc and still keep my job?

My company engages in immoral, and borderline illegal behavior; how can I do something about it and still keep my job?
I started working for a company only a few months ago, and already I see a lot of problems. Things that are not only immoral, but are illegal (though not criminal). Some of the things include using pirated software and not listening to the network admins request to buy legal copies, insisting I, their resident graphic person, used copyrighted work without permission, and instructed specifically to take it off "personal sites" because they would be less able to persue legal action. I also suspect they rip off other companies copyrighted and patented designs for their products, though have no proof (just a general feeling and a glance at a legal document). The owner is active in the company, and its a well established "fact" that he is sexist, though I don't know if it would be enough so to bring a harassment suit against the company. I hate working there, and have thought about how I would approach all these issues once I quit, but I'm broke, need this job, and haven't found the energy to search for much else. So am I SOL for now, or are there any agencies I can report what I see to and still keep my job?

The BSA.
They claim that reporting is confidential, and they do take action. BSA audits can be very painful and costly.

Contact the anti-piracy organization in your country and let them decide how to handle it. But realize that as long as you keep the job with this company, using pirated software and participating in other illegal behaviour YOU are vulnerable. Perhaps not legally, but certainly your reputation in the highly competitive field you are in will be tarnished with your association with them, and that counts for one hell of a lot.
So...leave the job, find some place that you'd want to be associated with, and work there. On your way out the door of your current employer start dialing the anti-piracy org.

Either forget about it and continue working or find the energy and quit based on principle. I don't think you'll find an easy middle ground solution that results in your employer suddenly becoming more tolerable.
If it's as bad as all that, they're probably saving money taking other shortcuts you don't even know about. If you find an agency to bust it up you might put yourself out of work anyway. They might not be willing or able to survive operating 100% legally.
Thinking further ahead, you need to consider how useful this employer will be as a reference in future anyway.

Civil torts are illegal but not criminal. Same with breach of contract. Hell, any civil violation is, by definition, "not criminal".

I doubt your reputation will be affected one iota by a software audit at your company unless you're the IT manager.

Before calling the BSA or anyone else. I'd take some time to take some notes on a personal pad of paper listing sources of stolen graphics. This might come in handy later when you wish to contact the victims and let them know that their works were used without their permission.

This also concerns me. The network admin, closest thing to the IT manager, is a friend of mine. He is in the tough spot of using the pirated software already there when he started, or having the company come to a dead stop. He's alerted them to the possible fines that come alone with using pirated software (I proofread the document he sent them; would have convinced me) and recently "snuck" some licensing in on a big computer order. But I would be a bastard if I turned the company in and he got nailed for something that he has fought to stop.

Done that immediately with the guilty feeling in my gut as I did it. I don't know how much good it will do though since they are random graphics from personal sites.

BTW, am I wrong in assuming copyright/patent infringement is not a criminal, but a civil issue? The BSA site linked calls it a "crime", and I'm wondering if that is true in the strictest sense of the word.

It can be a crime - see Criminal Intellectual Property Laws. That's what the FBI warning at the start of the dvd is about - they're not doing the leg work for civil actions.

As far as the stolen graphics: You could anonymously contact the owners of the images and alert them that you think the company "may" be re-using their images (make up a cover story for yourself if you want; use a disposable Yahoo account). If you contact enough of them, and put them in touch with each other, they might be able to make a credible legal threat, or at least call attention to the company's sleazy behavior in a public forum. The key would be keeping your fingerprints off of it.

Maybe you should sniff out other people that feel the same way before acting. If you can organize a few people that are like-minded -- especially those such as the network admin / IT guy -- then your collective action might be able to do more good. For example, if you all quit on the same day, with letters explaining why. I don't know if this is really reasonable to be able to pull off, but it seems to me that if you just silently quit (and then perhaps send an anonymous tip to the BSA or something) that there's a high chance that nothing will happen, that nobody at the top will notice, and that nothing will come of it. If you really want to change the company then you'll have to make a bigger splash.

There is a small chance you can make a positive change without getting your butt (and a severance check) handed to you. There is an even smaller chance that you are going to be able to make it happen.
If you had direct contact with a client, and trusted them very much, you could ask that person to add a clause to their contract that all software used in the project be audited and demonstrably legally registered, etc.
In your environment this might seem strange, but having worked for a multinational, it was a routine clause in contracts that we had with all of our suppliers of web-related services.
If you can somehow get a client to get that into a large enough contract to get the attention of the big boss - then you might be able to make the right thing happen without losing personally.
Good luck though - it sucks to be in an organization like that. My personal experience on your side of things was happier, in that very soon after I started the "fast and wild" days ended and the company (at many employees' request) made everything right.

This opens up a whole can of worms. If you have friends at the company, do they deserve to be tipped off in advance? etc. An audit that brings down the company could have repercussions for more than just the owners/managers. A large number of people could be put out of a job. Of course this is no excuse for illegal behavior, but is something you might want to consider.

Here's something of a dissent, then.
After reading the excellent link in Triode's post ("brisk rogering"), I feel that BSA's tactics are pretty low. Granted, your boss is kind of scummy, so he may have it coming, but I think I'd have a problem with turning the guy over to the billionaire multinational corporations' goon squad.
Yeah, of course, it's dirty to get graphics off personal sites -- especially if the stated reason is to avoid legal action! But as the graphics guy, is there no way to do it a little differently and avoid the issue? I just can't imagine the boss saying, "I need this and only this one particular Geocities graphic to be featured in your work." Maybe I'm wrong.
As to stealing trade secrets... if that's the case, that's inexcusable and they will be found and punished by people who know more for sure than you do. But the software stuff... let's be honest here. It happens. It goes on. It's exceedingly common. The Internet is increasingly making software, video, music, image, and text copyrights murkier and murkier, and honestly, most people have no idea how things work. Unless your boss is a lawyer, he may just think what he's doing is OK. Illegal, maybe, but hell, nobody actually drives 55, either. That's a very common rationalization.
So, IMHO, you could be a tool for Micro$oft, et. al., and narc (as you put it) to BSA, possibly hurting both you and your friend. I'd personally feel better with (yet another...) fairly strong letter (not e-mail) to management (CC legal if you want) that says that you've been noticing that the way the company does business has some possible legal ramifications if they don't fix it. Maybe even give some URLs like the story about BSA above, not as a threat, but painted as a "here's how these scumbags work, and I just want to make sure that our company doesn't become a victim". Maybe you get him to take notice. Maybe you don't. But it's a start, and you don't fuck anybody too bad.
And while your letter prints, go ahead and update the resume.

Posting this on a high-googled-ranked site, with a username that links to your personal site, which has a WHOIS record including what very well could be your real name may not have been such a good idea.
Doing illegal acts, even if they are part of your job, is still illegal. Your friend is doing something wrong by working for this company. So are you. You should both quit and sic the BSA on them.
That is the perfectly moral answer... which you could do, but it would probably be over to ignore that little voice in the back of your head and keep your job.

If you quit due to illegal activities aren't you entitled to employment benefits? I only speak for Canada, but here we have a specific clause that allows you to claim benefits if you quit under these circumstances. It might be the same where you are. That could help you out on the money front.
If you can leave, do it. If the company gets found out and your name is attached to any shady dealings, you could have a tough time getting a job at a reputable graphics firm.
But yeah, before you do it, document, document, document. You'll need to prove your accusations.

Kickstart70: I was totally going to ask the same question. I was under the impression that "breaking the law" was equivalent to "criminal activity" was equivalent to "illegal" as well. I'd never even HEARD of a tort before, so you're not alone.

Oh, and yeah: I have to agree that posting this up non-anonymously is perhaps not the smartest thing in the world to do. It sucks being in the position that you're in, but if it REALLY bothers you that much, or you seriously fear legal repercussions, I would consider leaving and heading to greener pastures.

You are going to accomplish two things if you report the company BSA: (1) your friend, the network administrator, and likely any IT higher-up will lose his job (2) the company will have to pay a fine and buy a bunch of licenses and one year down the line will return to its former business practices. In other words, you have nothing to gain and you'll likely cause a lot of harm by reporting this company. Unless you feel the company's practices are actively causing harm, it's not your problem. Write a memo objecting to your use of pirated software and start looking for another job.

Devote your energy to polishing your resume and get out. I agree with Triode that unless the boss changes their will be no change. Whether you want to rat them out later is a separate issue, but the important thing for your own sanity is to find someplace better to work. Also, I wouldn't count on any BSA money arriving in time to cover you if you got fired. It would be best to get a different job first. Good luck.

Start pulling together a business case for using legal products. Cite the articles listed here as compelling reasons to use legal software and creative work. Open Office, the Gimp, etc. are excellent applications. Getting nailed by the BSA is heinously, ruinously expensive.
Look for sites with free fonts, clipart and photos. You should not agree to act illegally and immorally, especially when you are victimizing individuals.
The IT guy could be liable, possibly criminally (as opposed to civilly) liable. He should do some research on possible repurcussions and refuse to install or support illegal software, again providing better choices, and business reasons for staying legal.
If you are being harassed, document by sending email to a gmail account with details. That gets it timestamped, and Gmail's reliable. Suing and getting a settlement is a good way to teach people to behave better.
And look for another job. This is no way to live.

Destroy them.
The world is full of vile corporations run by slimeballs and staffed by toadying scum so you'll be doing everyone a favor by eliminating one of them and helping to level the playing field for all the decent employers.
Personally, I'm sick and (expletive) tired of people covering up for illegal activities by employers. They rely on the fact that most people will want to be "nice" and not nail their filthy asses to the (expletive) wall.
I'm not talking about getting involved in some freaky paranoiac vendetta here -- just let the BSA goons do their jobs. With any luck the company will go under.
Mind you, I'm saying that as someone who worked at a company that got nailed by a multi-hundred-million dollar fine for massive malfeasance by the very most senior execs who spent their last months haranguing everyone about the importance of security protocols while simultaneously stealing everything that wasn't nailed down and (expletive'ing) over all of the lower level staff.
If you're not turning them in, you're covering up for them. Are they paying you extra for that?

I had that happen once when I was the IT guy for a small company. I wrote a memo expressing my concerns over the use of pirated software.
I was fired a week later so the boss could hire one of his lowlife friends.
Sometimes, it's just not worth the energy to go up against management. Sad, pathetic fact, but it's true.

I was fired a week later so the boss could hire one of his lowlife friends.

I'm a little surprised by people suddenly being so anti-piracy. Interesting.
Regardless, though, the way it reads to me is that you don't like your employers and want to "get them" somehow. Otherwise, why care? If you liked your job would you still care about these issues? (I mean the confirmed ones, not the suspicions).
