Anti-Piracy
Be sure it's Rosetta Stone.
The only way to be sure you're buying authentic Rosetta Stone® software is to buy directly from Rosetta Stone or from an authorized Rosetta Stone retailer. If you have questions regarding the legitimacy of a Rosetta Stone retailer contact us at 1(800)767-3882.
Be aware of the risks.
Buying from an unauthorized dealer can be risky. Consumers who purchase unauthorized or pirated software may be:
- Subject to identity theft, including loss of personal or credit card information.
- Exposed to defective or corrupted software, which can ruin computers and cost consumers more in terms of repair services or replacement equipment.
- Exposed to software viruses or other malicious code that can damage computers or lead to identity theft.
- Unable to obtain warranties, proper manuals, support services and software upgrades offered to properly licensed users.
Help us combat the pirates.
Every year, billions of dollars of revenue are lost as a result of software piracy through lost wages, lost jobs, and unfair competition.
To help protect consumers and to safeguard its intellectual property rights, Rosetta Stone investigates and takes aggressive measures to stop instances of piracy.
Jason Calhoun on Anti-Piracy
Jason Calhoun, Rosetta Stone's Enforcement Manager, discusses what the company is doing to fight piracy.
You can help stop this illegal and harmful activity. Know how to spot and avoid illegal software, and report suspected intellectual property violations when you encounter them. You can report piracy here. We also recommend that consumer contact their legislators and encourage them to enact stronger internet consumer protection legislation. And only buy software from a retailer you recognize and trust.
And Remember...
Piracy is theft, plain and simple. If you or your company is caught copying and/or distributing illegal copies of software, you could be held liable under both civil and criminal laws. If convicted, infringers can be fined up to $250,000, sentenced to prison for up to five years, or both.

Internet Fraud/Scam Advertising
Bait and click scams use sponsored search results that usually appear at the top and along the side of search engine web pages.
Deceptive sponsored search results (scam ads or scads) involve Internet advertisers misrepresenting themselves by using brand names they are not affiliated with or authorized to use.
Bait and click tactics waste consumers’ time and often link to venues for identity theft, phishing, fraud, viruses, and illicit content.
