This is the best result in our history, as in previous studies, the level of illegal software was with us respectively 57, 53 and 51 percent.
It’s good, but …
It is better, but it is still much worse than in the European Union, where on average only 29 percent of software used in computers, software illegal – said PR24 Bartlomiej Witucki representative BSA, The Software Alliance in Poland.
– There is a reason for satisfaction. A decrease of 3 percentage points, this is the highest decline noted by Poland. At the same time it is the highest drop in this year’s study. This shows that there is a tendency to reduce the number of illegal software in Poland. The trend continues, we hope that this will not change. Have broken the psychological barrier of 50 percent .. It is said that above this value are the country where piracy is a problem, here are the countries that are already in this area more legal software – explains the guest Polish Radio 24.
The courts have changed the approach
There are several reasons to improve the situation – adds the expert. – An important element will be the establishment of the department to combat cybercrime at each major command. It turns out that these departments in many cases excellent work with departments to combat economic crime. It seems that this is one of the factors. The second factor is a significant decision of the court, which awarded damages worth $ 1 million, it was very specialized software and quite expensive – lists the expert.
The estimated total market value of illegal software used in Poland last year amounted to $ 447 million, with over 100 million less than in 2013.
At the head of the ranking of countries where illegal software is the least of years are countries such as the US, Japan, Germany and the Scandinavian countries.
