Theft Welcome to the FAST web site.
It was the first software copyright organisation. Its' first action was to raise the awareness of software piracy and to lobby Parliament for changes in the Copyright Act 1956 to reflect the needs of software authors and publishers. This campaign was successful and it has since been able to influence other legislation that impacts on the proper safeguarding of software. The work of FAST in this area has directly influenced the way that software copyright law and investigations are carried out in many other countries. It is also unique in that it is the only association in the world that represents both software publishers and end users.
