RALEIGH
State auditors say a worker at the North Carolina Employment Security Commission used his agency computer to make bootleg copies of movies and video games.
An audit report released Thursday said that a systems analyst at the agency had dozens of DVDs stacked around his desk. The worker estimated that he had "more than one and less than a thousand" movies stories on his state-owned computer.
The analyst was fired.
Auditors say an applications manager's state-owned computer also had software to illegally duplicate copyrighted material along with 20 movie copies and 14 television shows. He denied knowledge of the pirating. He was suspended without pay for two weeks last year.
