Wow. What they do is they accuse a company of pirating software and threaten with legal action if they don't let a "security team" into the company to check out their software licenses... then they try to sell them more products.

This reminds me exactly of the Monty Python Encyclopedia Salesman sketch.

you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods,
you will understand why I dismiss yours." - Stephen F. Roberts
