Software publishers see their products in use on computers that never paid for a license. Most of those users are businesses that settle quickly once they see the facts.
We verify each case from the publisher’s own data, contact the organization with the evidence, and offer a settlement on the publisher’s terms. Where an organization refuses, we work with local counsel and the authorities.

Every organization we contact is a potential customer of our client. We show the evidence, protect personal data, and make paying the publisher simple: a personal settlement page, a clear offer and a deadline.
When an organization refuses, our clients go to court and win. In October 2026 a court in Milan sentenced an individual to nine months in prison in a case ITCA supported from the first warning letter (read the case).

Copyright law, language and business culture differ by country. Our regional teams in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Asia know the local rules, speak the local language, and work with local counsel when a case needs it. Since 2005 we have helped software publishers turn unlicensed use into revenue.
