Question 5

​John Gee developed a software program that helped retail stores better manage their shelf inventories.Gee has discovered that a student who worked stocking shelves at Highland Grocery Store obtained a bootleg copy of the software and has been selling it from his dorm room at State University.Gee wishes to know what types of remedies he has available.
A)​He has no remedies, but he could report the activity for criminal prosecution.
B)​An injunction to stop the sales of his program.
C)There are no remedies for him if the program can be downloaded because that is only criminal activity.
D)both a and c

Accepted Answer

The best option for John Gee would be to seek an injunction to stop the sales of his program. This would prevent the student from continuing to sell the bootleg software without permission. While he could report the activity for criminal prosecution, seeking an injunction would provide a faster and more targeted solution to the problem. Choice C is incorrect as there are civil remedies available to Gee for the violation of his intellectual property rights, even if the activity may also be criminal. Choice A is also incorrect as the availability of criminal prosecution does not preclude civil remedies.
