Yesterday I took the World Intellectual Property Day and
Microsoft this occasion together with the consulting firm PwC has prepared an interesting
report, which analyzed the software piracy in our
country . That takes into account both the pirated software,
as well as the problem of watching illegal movies
the network.
Unfortunately, we have nothing to be proud of. It turns out, that
from 29% to 49% of the respondents in response to a question
paid for obtaining access to services, where you can
watch illegally movies , replied:
Yes. PwC estimates that the sposo b Polish economy loses
from 500 to 700 million a year! Besides, we
that occur in the country each year to about 400-500 million plays
films, plays 650-750 million episodes and 150-180 million
plays transmission of sporting events. These are values that
hard to imagine.
“ The data presented in the report show that theft
video is a common phenomenon in Poland.
Worrying is the attitude of some web portals
operating on the Polish market, which, instead of educating users
and fight the phenomenon, maintain services that provide access to
pirated content and derive additional benefits from them, eg. selling
there advertising space “- says Sabina Leipzig
Video Director of Onet-RASP.
It is no different in the case of software on computers. Here
n ajwięcej losing companies such as Microsoft, Corel, Adobe
or Norton . It turns out that the software listed
above companies are often offered in the auction, as
Allegro. Unfortunately, fighting out; is not that easy,
although possible, what we pretend
Thomas Z. case where the court in Slupsk sentenced to three years
imprisonment. Without the “hinge”.
Piracy in Poland is standard. Unfortunately
The BSA has established that in January this year in one of the largest
auction services more than 90%, and a copy of Windows 7/8
Office 2010/2013 was illegal . It is worth noting,
that the sale of this type of software in January was almost 2
million. As you might notice, Microsoft itself much on the
earned.
“ Microsoft products, such as operating systems Widnows 7
and 8, as well as packages of Office 2010 and 2013 are the most widely used
illegal software. We need to constantly educate users,
that the use of such software is not only illegal,
but also dangerous for them. “- says Krzysztof
Florczak from the Polish branch of Microsoft.
In addition, BSA reports that the month-to-month sales
illegal (or suspects) copies of the software companies
Adobe, Corel and Norton grow. In February of – respectively – 86%, 71%, and
90%.
Remember that buying illegal software we have
reckon with the consequences . Not only legal, but
also related to the use of the pirates, who often do not
receive the update, and it makes the work environment is
more vulnerable to the network, such as viruses and Trojans
