ALLDATA Prosecutes Software Pirate

provider of manufacturers' automotive repair information and solutions for the
professional automotive service and collision repair industries, announced the
successful prosecution of a software counterfeiting operation.

On June 28, 2011 the ALLDATA Anti-Piracy team in conjunction with the Sacramento
Valley Hi-Tech Crimes Task Force concluded a six-month investigation into
illegally copied ALLDATA products being sold out of Northern California.

The subject of this investigation was publicly advertising the pirated software
in his efforts to distribute it. Undercover officers conversed with the target
who agreed to provide the illegal product in exchange for cash. After the
actions of the suspect placed him in violation of California law, he was taken
into custody.

The efforts of the Sacramento Valley Hi-Tech Crimes Task Force in collaboration
with the ALLDATA Anti-Piracy Team resulted in the subject being charged with
felony counts of Possession / Sale of Counterfeit Articles in reference to penal
code 350 (A) (2) which states that the offense involves 1,000 or more articles.
On July 27, 2011 the subject pleaded guilty to felony charges in Superior
Criminal Court.

software. Our customers trust us as the industry leader, and we owe it to them
to protect their investment. Let the pirates be on notice that we will
diligently investigate and prosecute every suspected case of counterfeit
