What is Software Piracy?
Software piracy is the unauthorized copying or distribution of copyrighted software. This can be done by copying, downloading, sharing, selling, or installing multiple copies onto personal or work computers. What a lot of people do not realize or do not think about is that when you purchase software, you are actually purchasing a license to use it, not the actual software. That license is what tells you how many times you can install the software, so it is important to read it. If you make more copies of the software than the license permits, you are pirating.
Statistiques sur le piratage et les tendances
Afficher le taux de piratage par région
De nombreux facteurs contribuent aux variations régionales observées dans le piratage : l'efficacité de la protection de la propriété intellectuelle, la facilité d'accès aux logiciels piratés, ainsi que les différences culturelles. De plus, le piratage n'est pas uniforme à l'intérieur d'un même pays. Il varie selon la ville, l'industrie et la démographie.Les efforts pour supprimer le piratage peuvent aboutir, mais l'arrivée sur le marché de nouveaux utilisateurs issus de petites entreprises risque au contraire de l'augmenter.
