PC Software Piracy faced downfall
Added On:5/17/2008

The updates released by a leading market research firm IDC, have forecasted that piracy of software in PCs has fallen from 71% (in 2006) to 69% (in 2007) in India.

The figures were revealed after conducting a study in 108 countries by IDC. This report indicates that India is progressing in the fight against software piracy. The rate is although slower compared against other nations like Russia that registered 7% drop in piracy rate in 2007.

India, rated as an IT leader needs a tangible anti-piracy education, engagement and enforcement plan to reduce software piracy year on year. The motive can be achieved by imparting proper awareness at all levels. For instance, establishing specialized intellectual property rights (IPR) courts, creating uniform and equipped IPR Police Cells and fostering greater Government-Industry-Private Partnerships.

According to the study, in Asia, the high rated pirated countries were Bangladesh (92%), Sri Lanka (90%) and Vietnam (85%). Among the lowest-piracy countries were Japan (23%), Singapore (37%) and Taiwan (40%).

However, the study does not list other types of software such as server- or mainframe-based software.
