Piracy losses in the European Union drop by euro 700 million in BSA 2006 study

A Global Software Piracy Study from the Business Software Alliance (BSA), shows that the software piracy rate in Ireland has continued to drop - to 36% - the European Union average - in 2006, but losses to industry from illegal software installed on personal computers dropped by euro 700 million. However, despite this drop, losses in the EU remain high at euro 8 billion and losses in Ireland are at euro 85 million.
