BSA: Schade door softwarepiraterij stijgt
In 2008 hebben softwarebedrijven meer schade geleden door illegaal gebruik van hun software, stelt de Business Software Alliance. Dat geldt wereldwijd, maar ook voor Nederland.
Juist in landen waar het computergebruik snel groeide, zoals China en India, steeg het aandeel illegale kopieën. Daardoor nam het aandeel van illegaal gebruikte softwarekopieën met 3 procentpunten toe, van 38 procent in 2007 naar 41 procent in 2008.
Dat illegale gebruik van software leverde de softwarebedrijven een schadepost van 53 miljard dollar op, 11 procent (5,1 miljard dollar) meer dan in 2007.
