The Economic Benefits of Reducing PC Software Piracy
A Report by IDC, January 2008
Sponsored by the Business Software Alliance®
Reducing software piracy could create hundreds of thousands of new jobs, billions in information technology (IT) spending and economic growth, and new tax revenues to support local services.
A study commissioned by the Business Software Alliance (BSA) and conducted independently by International Data Corporation (IDC) finds that while all countries could benefit from reducing the use of illegal software on personal computers (PC), high-piracy emerging economies could experience the most dramatic, positive impacts.
"The Economic Benefits of Reducing PC Software Piracy" looks at the bottom line economic benefits of reducing piracy in 42 countries that together account for more than 90 percent of global IT spending in 2007. The study is designed to quantify the economic benefits to domestic economies that could be gained from a ten percentage point reduction in PC software piracy over a four year period, from 2008-2011.
"When countries take steps to reduce software piracy, everyone benefits," said Robert Holleyman, president and CEO of BSA. "With more and better job opportunities, a stronger, more secure business environment, and greater economic contributions from the dynamic and robust IT sector, reducing software piracy is one way for governments to deliver tangible benefits to local economies."

New solution: "CodeMeter Identity" verifies your online identity
Many companies use the power of the Internet, (Extranet
or Intranet) to provide proprietary information intended only for the
eyes of a select group. Such a group might be members of a private
organization, customers, partners, dealers, service staff or project
groups. To keep this information from falling into the wrong hands it is
important that authorized persons be able to provide positive
identification via secure and well-established security protocols.
Wibu-Systems AG, a leading German manufacturer of hardware
based protection solutions for software, documents, access control
and media, brings a new weapon to the security manager’s arsenal of
authentication products. The new product is a natural extension to
Wibu-Systems’s well proven CodeMeter® System. It is called
CodeMeter Identity and brings the power of two-factor authentication,
secured by SmartCard technology, AES key encryption and public
key management to the security market. Software developers using
CodeMeter to protect applications, documents or media files will
receive an automatic benefit from the additional authentication
function of CodeMeter Identity.
