China’s software piracy rate drops sharply
December 23, 2010 Category Uncategorized
China’s software piracy rate has fallen sharply as Chinese firms are increasingly using authorized software due to awareness and enhanced intellectual property rights (IPR) protection. The unauthorized software installation rate, which includes piracy, tumbled from 66% in 2005 to 45% in 2009, said Luo Yizhi, Ernst & Young’s Telecommunications and Technology Industry Partner, citing figures from Beijing-based research firm Chinalabs. Every 2% drop in the piracy software rate will boost the output of the entire industry by USD2 billion to USD3 billion and create 50,000 new jobs, according to Ernst & Young. Meanwhile 92% of Chinese firms will spend more on IT security next year, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) said, with information security being a priority.
