Piracy Study
Overview In early 2001,International Planning and Research Corporation (IPR) completed another year of analysis in an ongoing study for the Business Software Alliance (BSA)and its member companies. The purpose of the study is to review the available data and utilize a systematic methodology to determine the worldwide business software piracy rates and the associated dollar losses. As PC technology and the demand for software spread from the U.S. to other countries during the 1990's,there was at times a lag between the demand for software and the effective distribution of legal software. This led to cases of piracy as an expedient way to use PCs. The software industry has worked hard to have a legitimate sales presence in every country, making legal software sales and support easier to obtain.
