The true cost of software piracy revealed
,----[ Quote ]
| OK, let's forget the spin put on the piracy problem by the usual industry
| suspects. By which I mean the suggestion that the true cost of piracy is that
| it helps fund terrorists.
|
| That is just silly nonsense, FUD designed to confuse rather than clarify what
| has become a growing problem.

Anti-piracy day? No thanks
,----[ Quote ]
| Today is Microsoft’s self-declared Global Anti-Piracy Day. No surprise then
| that the local arm of the Business Software Alliance has been ringing up
| journalists over the past couple of days with the ominous news that South
| Africa is losing between R2.8 billion to software pirates every year.
|
| As usual, the BSA statements are sweeping and presumptive.
|
| For a start, South Africa doesn’t really lose all this money. Most of the
| licensing money heads straight overseas to companies like Microsoft and Adobe
| with this country holding on to very little of it.
