I used to work for a company that had many a disgruntled employee. Better said, immature ex-employees. At one point we got a letter from the BSA stating they received information from a "third-party" that we might have illegally licensed software.

The company I worked for _was_ improperly overextending their licenses and didn't have the money to buy all of the needed copies. We inventoried what we had and waited to see what would happen. The BSA letter indicated they could perform an audit at any time and make us comply with proper licensing.

We waited and nothing ever happened. The company I worked for eventually closed down. That was two years after the letter.
