I say:
1. Cover your butt with an e-mail to a superior stating your concern. Say that you “think” that there might be an issue. Stay away from “knowing” the law.
2. Do your job as your superiors state.
3. No one is going to come after YOU for copyright infringement but you don’t want anyone to be able to point the finger at you either.
4. You could turn them in and collect the 10% reward.
5. Keep your resume up to date.
You’ve made your name and your concerns public on this forum. Google yourself and see what comes up. When I google myself, my COW posts are right there on page one. This is why a lot of people post here under assumed names.
