Dublin-based architect firm O'Brien & Kaye has agreed to pay a substantial sum of money to the Business Software Alliance (BSA) following a raid on its premises.

The raid, which was the first made by the BSA under new Irish copyright legislation, found the firm had unauthorised software at its offices.

The company has agreed with the BSA to embark on a campaign, in association with Autodesk, to eradicate all unregistered software from the architectural profession.
