Two charged with selling pirated software
A federal grand jury returned indictments against two Roseville residents, charging them with conspiracy to commit copyright infringement.
The indictment alleges that Nicholas Summerlin and Angelica Parson, both 22, sold illegal copies of Adobe Creative Suite Master Collection 3, Microsoft Office 2007, and Rosetta Stone language software. The software had a combined retail value of $561,430.
Both received a cease-and-desist letter from Rosetta Stone, but they allegedly kept selling their pirated software in 330 transactions in 2008 and 2009.
The Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Unit of the Sacramento U.S. Attorney’s office is prosecuting the pair, said a release from Benjamin Wagner, U.S. Attorney in the California Eastern District, based in Sacramento.
