A few fellow workers and I are interested in playing an SE4 Gold LAN game during our downtime here at work and we were wondering if all of us had to purchase the game separately or if we could pool our money and buy a single copy. I said we all have to buy copies, but I am not sure. Please advise. Thanks.
Our company once faced a huge fine because a few workers played Quake over the lan. They used one copy, copied several times, and had a huge lan party going when someone talked. The company does not know who started the lan, but they had to pay severl hunderd thousdand in fines for having mulitiple "unlicensed copies" of Quake on their system. This is when they discovered that copying other software was illegal. In the end they forked out over a million in fines or so they said. So my advice to you is, have everyone buy their own copies, and keep the receipt.
