BSA Piracy Study: Quantifying Piracy Data Easier Than We Thought (PC World)

PC World - The Business Software Alliance (BSA), in conjunction with global market intelligence firm IDC, released its seventh annual study on software piracy on Tuesday. The study estimates that the commercial value of pirated software globally was $51.4 billion. According to the BSA, while losses due to piracy are hard to quantify, the $51.4 billion is most likely lower than the actual losses sustained due to piracy in 2009.
