My goodness! Those Business Software Alliance guys really do that kind
of stuff? I read an article about something similar in
linuxjournal.com, but I thought it was exaggerated. (And of course,
what side would you expect linuxjournal.com to take...?)

To pre-emptively defend against this, the company where I used to work hired
an outside consultant to come in and survey everyone's computer, deleting
any BSA applications that had no licenses avaiable. At the time, we were
shipping hundreds of ruggedized PCs to the US Army every week, so we had
Windows and DOS by the pallet in the warehouse.
