The difference is not large – during the examination conducted by the BSA found that the relevant license does not have a 48% used in our country software. Compared to the results from the previous edition of the report, this means a decrease of 3 percentage points.
A study on illegal software are executed by BSA every 2-3 years. Through archival particular, we know that in 2007 in Poland was 57% “pirates”, in 2011, this percentage dropped to 53%, in 2013 was the 51%.
The organization, which represents software developers and their behalf combats piracy calculated that in 2015 the value of illegally used Poland application was 447 million dollars. in comparison to 2013 is lower than the sum of 89 million dollars. BSA did not disclose whether the amount of the increased revenues the software industry.
Poland stands still heavily from European standards – the average in the EU countries use the 29% illegal software. Infamous leader when it comes to piracy, the Asia-Pacific region, where no license is 61% application. At the other extreme were the United States with 10% of illegal software users.
IDC was tempted by an indication of the reasons why the Poles are increasingly willing to pay for the programs you use. These include, among other things constant, low prices of personal computers, a relatively long lifetime of the equipment purchased, and less interest in fixed składakami – branded notebooks are delivered with pre-installed operating system.
BSA in turn leaves no doubt – decrease piracy is not the result of good will among buyers software. Bartlomiej Witucki, a representative of BSA | The Software Alliance in Poland believes that the lower prevalence of illegal software is a weave of 3 factors.
“First, it is important increase the effectiveness of legal action conducted under the Anti-Piracy BSA in Poland, as evidenced by the numerous settlement serious amount, including one of the companies in the amount of one million dollars. it is also important that the appointment and operation of each command provincial and at at Police Headquarters, departments to combat cybercrime. the third element is the observed increase in the level of management software, although I must admit that Polish companies, which are ready to meet the requirements of ISO / IEC 1977-1 is not much.
“
it is worth noting that according to the plans prosecutor national experts in cybercrime to appear also in each prosecutor’s office. Among their tasks will probably prosecute users and sellers of illegal software.
Theirs will be a lot of work, because the Polish pirates have momentum – in March 2016 closed in our country illegal factory of Windows, which managed to bring counterfeiters than 3 million zł income.
When did you start to use legal software?
