Software Piracy in India
Express Computer, in its current issue, has done a lead story on software piracy, which carries a few quotes from me.
Another aspect of piracy, which the story does not touch upon, is that it leads to reduced diversity and a depressed off take of alternative and open-source software, which finds no takers due to the easy availability of full-fledged, commercial competing products. There was an interesting write up in Businessweek a few day ago on this. Worth a read.
