Software piracy was reduced only 1% during 2011 in Peru
By Francisco Espinosa Reboa, Estudio Francisco Espinosa Bellido
It was also informed that 78% of PC users in Peru admits to have some pirated software, while 49% of them do it as a regular practice and only a 7% buy original software for fear of the legal sanctions (fines of up to US$ 237,000.-, approximately), according to another report from Ipsos Apoyo.
The same report mentioned that 73% of people buying pirated software are males from 25 to 34 years.
A representative from the BSA mentioned that such numbers reflect that there is no real conscience of the criminal behavior involved in this activity, and that the educational campaigns made by the authorities are having little impact.
