New Data from BSA/IDC Indicate Piracy Growth
BSA/IDC's latest annual report is out and stills shows large losses attributed piracy. I think they nailed it in terms of true root cause for this ,
"a rapid influx of new PC users in the consumer and small-business sectors, the increased availability of pirated software over the Internet, and difficult enforcement and education over sometimes sprawling geographies."
However, the steps they suggest for reducing piracy (i.e., education/awareness, WIPO treated) do not go far enough and do not limit the availability of software piracy. This will require a combination of software protection and licensing.
