The 'Federation Against Software Theft' is a UK-based non-profit organization set up in 1984 by the British Computer Society's Copyright Committee to enforce the copyright of software publishers.
The Federation's key objectives are to raise awareness regarding software copyright, address shortfalls in legislation, and enforce its members' rights under the law. It runs many membership schemes for publishers, users and resellers.
The Federation was a shareholder in the for-profit company FAST Limited, its operational arm, with the two sharing their premises.
FAST Limited operates FAST Corporate Services and FAST Consultancy, the former promoting the FAST Standard for Software Compliance FSSC-1:2007, a private standard developed in collaboration with the BSI (previously known as FAST Audit Certification) and the latter offering consultancy on software licence compliance, software auditing and the FAST Standard for Software Compliance.
The Federation targets software theft including copyright infringement of software.
