Does Pirated Software really contact the authorities?
No. The message at the end claiming "the authorities were notified" is part of the joke. Pirated Software does not connect to the internet, send any data, or contact anyone. It is a completely self-contained, offline program. The warning message is designed to give the person a brief scare before they realize it is a prank.
