The Business Software Alliance (BSA) has settled a piracy case with a Melbourne-based advertising agency involving the unlicensed use of BSA member software, relating to Microsoft and Symantec products.
Australia’s awareness of software piracy reached record levels in 2010, with 161 reports of software piracy to the Business Software Alliance (BSA) setting a new record. This result eclipsed its previous record year of 95 reports of software piracy in 2009.
Reducing software piracy by 10 percentage points in four years from 25 per cent to 15 per cent by 2113 would inject almost US$2.2 billion into the Australian economy, create 3,786 new high-tech jobs and generate close to US$564 million in new tax revenues, according to a new study from the Business Software Alliance (BSA) and the leading global market research firm IDC.
The Business Software Alliance (BSA) announced the settlement of three cases involving the unlicensed use of BSA member software, including Adobe, Autodesk, Corel and Microsoft products.
The Business Software Alliance (BSA) has increased the maximum reward* it offers for reporting software piracy from $5,000 to $20,000 for the months of September and October this year only.
More than 88 per cent of Australian companies agree that the use of pirated or unlicensed software is a risk to their business, according to the inaugural Business Software Alliance (BSA) Software Piracy Sentiment Report, released today.
