"Snitch Software" Will Go Wider. "Snitch software" is a newer trend that has just started sneaking into auditing practices. In a recent example from a court case between a vendor and a consumer, the vendor placed Piracy Detection and Reporting Security Software (PDRSS) into their product to track when unlicensed software is used from an IP address. Eventually, the vendor audited the consumer and explained that their software was being used incorrectly, but the consumer argued that had not been proven. This essentially led to the vendor explaining their implemented PDRSS, which led to a privacy and permissions dispute.
