Federation Against Software Theft Limited
(FAST) A non-profitma King organisation, formed in 1984 by the software industry with the aim of eradicating software theft in the U K. Prosecuting on average one organisation every ten days, FAST gives a member organisation, which has signed a Code of Ethics and is committed to the carrying out of a regular software audit, a period of grace before bringing action if there is evidence of irregularities by the member organisation. In addition to prosecuting organisations and individuals for software theft, FAST set up a campaign of public education and awareness to ensure that users of commercial software understand the effects of software theft - primarily the legal penalties for copyright breach and the increased ris K of virus infection through the uncontrolled spread of software. However, FAST is limited to the U K and in 1995 proposed to merge with the Business Software Alliance created by Microsoft and which has a world-wide influence. However, the tal Ks fell through and in 1996, Novell and {Adobe Systems, Inc.} defected to BSA. FAST Start . E-mail: . Telephone: +44 (0) 1628 622 121.
