A first-time study by the Business Software Alliance (BSA) shows that while the U.S. has the lowest rate of software piracy of countries tracked around the world, there is still a long way to go to end illegal software use here.
The amount of piracy measured in the eight states in 2007 totals:
Arizona 21%
California 25%
Florida 19%
Illinois 22%
Nevada 25%
New York 18%
Ohio 27%
Texas 20%
And while the piracy losses to the software vendors was $4.2 billion for the year, there were also losses of about $11.4 billion to software distributors and service providers, according to the BSA.
