Thread: Ripping Off Software from Work?

At work, I sometimes deal with people over the telephone, who have had a vehicle accident & don't know exactly where they are. Some of the descriptions of peoples' locations are vaugue, to say the least.

To combat this, they spent a small fortune on a system from Vodaphone, which gives the location of a mobile phone to within twenty-five metres. It works in real-time & they charge us 25p each time we use it.

I find it very handy to see where my mates are when I am about to finish work & not have to bother ringing or texting people to see who's in town for a pint. Problem is, every time it is used, it is logged & I've been dragged over the coals for the same numbers consistently appearing on my records.

I've asked work if I can copy the software, but they said no, muttering they had spent thousands on it & something about the Data Protection Act. I've tried downloading the thing onto my iPod, on the sly, but it won't transfer.

Do I need a flash stick, or something? Bear in mind, I'm not sure what a flash stick actually is. I can see the file that contains the stuff, but when I try & drag it into removable drive F:, it looks like it's working, but doesn't appear on it when I get home. I've tried putting it onto a normal MP3 player, too.

We don't have A: drives, so I can't copy it that way. How can I get my hands on this great bit of software? I'm more than happy to share it with TD if someone can tell me.
