no you cannot take local standing in the piracy, each in every software having license, so who ever break or illegal used or piracy it will punishable under force in law.

the company whose software is used can take action against this piracy with the help of the local administration and you can not interfere into this

there are no special enforcement officer appointed for this purpose, however the powers for investigation have been granted to DSP rank officer.

since its a matter of criminal liability the complainant shall be the person or body which is being affected because of piracy.
