I have worked in Financial sector for a long time and know that copying bank software illegally is criminal in US and probably civil in Australia.

I program for the bank via the consulting company and my code is on the internet. Plus my contract is frozen with fees until I withdraw my complaint to IT of my consulting company.

Not sure who to talk to in the bank. HR said I have to resolve with my consulting company but I am pretty sure the HR doesn't understand the implication of copying software
