Jail - do not pass GO, do not collect $200!
I wouldn't of thought that the big software companies would bother go after an individual - unless they wanted to make an example!
Besides if you have legal software then you have nothing to worry about - but then I guess you wouldn't of posted this topic if that was the case!

Spelling aside
I do know of a bloke at Oxford uni who got a "Cease & Desist" from Sony because of his excessive P2P music piracy.
(the fact the Sony had to get involved demonstrates the slackness of OU computing services)
Most of my cracked software isn't corporation property anyway - I'm shafting the small businessman even worse than they are. Still, Fruityloops would cost a whole month's dole money.
