Stratic Advice on Intellectual Property Investment in Asia/苏冉(10)
Issue Ⅲ: Current Software Piracy in P.R.C and Singapore
With no exception, Asia is suffering from the most complicated problem of software piracy. There will likely be a long way to fight against it, demanding the social collaborations.
A) P.R.C
In China, by virtue of the increasing public awareness, the involvement of corrupt officials and the more difficulties to access to counterfeited computer software, software piracy is on the decline these years. Based on the latest statistic of 10 sample cities in Southern and Eastern provinces, the pirate US software copies decreased to 45% of the total market However, more ridiculously, a number of pirate peddlers and retailers have quit their existent work and turn to find other jobs instead.
In respect of the rapid development of Internet, software anti-piracy faces another challenge. As a result, those illegal copying and unauthorized use of copyrighted software, such as pre-installation with hardware and Internet downloading ranks the No.1 means of piracy. Focusing on a particularly problematic area for China-pirated software perhaps software piracy in China is not as pervasive as is normally thought. But, because of Chinese software companies’ juvenility, the biggest victims are not foreign software corporations who lose potential sales to piracy but are local Chinese software companies that are unable to sell enough software to prosper.
