  • Just remember to take statements from the BSA with a grain of salt. This is from an organization that wants to consider the money you pay for software as "lease" payments. Their principle member, Microsoft, now claims 235 patent infringements within Linux.

    I don't dispute that software piracy exists. I simply dispute the numbers they post on the impact of it. Most of the time, software piracy increases revenues by exposing people to the software and giving them a chance to learn it before they pay for it.
