2007 Global Piracy Study

  Fourth Annual BSA and IDC Global Software

About the Study

The Fourth Annual BSA and IDC Global Software Piracy Study reveals that 35% of the software installed in 2006 on personal computers (PCs) worldwide was obtained illegally, amounting to nearly $40 billion in global losses due to software piracy.  Progress was seen in a number of emerging markets, most notably in China, where the piracy rate dropped ten percentage points in three years, and in Russia, where piracy fell seven percentage points over three years.
