Intelligence and Crime: A novel evidence for software piracy
The aim of this paper is to test the hypothesis that software piracy rats are lower in more intelligent nations. Thus, we econometrically estimate the effect of national IQ on software piracy rates, using data for 102 nations for the year 2011. Our findings offer strong support for the assertion that intelligence is inversely related to the software piracy rates. After controlling for the poten...
متن کاملSoftware Piracy Forensics: Impact and Implications of Postâ•’Piracy Modifications
Piracy is potentially possible at any stage of the lifetime of the software. In a post-piracy situation, however, the growth of the respective versions of the software (both the original and pirated) is expected to be in different directions as a result of expectedly different implementation strategies. This paper shows how such post-piracy modifications are of special interest to a cyber crime...
متن کاملStrategies to Combat Software Piracy
It is impossible to combat software piracy as long as the machines on which the programs execute are indistinguishable; then, any program that can execute on one machine may be copied for execution on another machine. Recently, hardware manufacturers have begun assigning unique identifiers to CPU chips, which make it possible to address the piracy issue in a new light. In this paper, we suggest...
متن کاملincreasing global software piracy rates
oftware piracy is a worldwide phenomenon. In 2001, the Business Software Alliance (BSA) [1] found there are no nations with less than a 20% piracy rate, and two that exceeded 90% (see Figure 1). It is estimated that in 2001 software manufacturers lost $10.97 billion globally as a result of software piracy [1]. Furthermore, in most regions of the world, piracy increased by 37% in 2000 and by 40%...
متن کاملDeterminants of Worldwide Software Piracy
Software piracy or ‘softlifting’, the unauthorized use or illegal copying of computer software seems to be a persistent and truly global phenomenon, in spite of international efforts to reduce it. Could the battle against it be won by just merely accepting international standards for the protection of intellectual property rights? The answer to this question is the main focus of this research. ...
