We want to help senior management, IT managers and software users eliminate the risks associated with using illegal software. The 90-Day Grace Period begins on 10 February 2000 and ends 10 May 2000. The BSA initiative is also specifically designed to promote greater understanding of copyright. The aim is to reach the widest audience possible and gain greater respect and support for intellectual creations. BSA hopes that the campaign will enable Filipinos to realize that intellectual property is as important as their own property.
