Indonesia has been named the Business Software Alliance (BSA) as the country with the percentage of software piracy reaches 86%.Of course this figure is somewhat higher. So, what about other countries.
Before issuing the results for the year 2011, the BSA did some research to nearly 15 thousand computer users in 33 countries around the world.
"From these results a number of global PC software piracy rate approaching 42%. With the potential loss of U.S. $ 63.4 billion," said Senior Director of Anti-Piracy software Turan Sawney BSA Asia Pacific, at the Ritz Carlton, Tuesday (15/5 / 2012).
From 33 countries, Indonesia was in second place as the country's most widely used illegal software. With the percentage reached 86% and the estimated losses reached USD 1.467 billion.
"Although large, in fact the number is down 1% from 87% in 2010, up 1% in 2009. This means that 8 out of 10 software is installed on a computer is illegal software," he added.
While the first or the highest position achieved by Venezuela, with a piracy rate reached 88% with the loss of U.S. $ 668 million.
Turan explained, the high piracy in a country is not necessarily high in the loss. Because the calculation is also based on the expenditures for the purchase of legal software by penetration of PCs sold divided by sales softwate illegal.
Here are five countries with the highest piracy rate BSA version:
A. Venezuela: 88% piracy rate, USD 668 million loss 2. Indonesia: 86%, USD 1.467 billion 3. China: 77%, USD 8.902 billion 4. Thailand: 72%, USD 852 million 5. Argentina: 69%, USD 657 million.
