Australia experienced a small increase last year in the use of pirated software, keeping the overall piracy rate well above comparable nations, according to a survey published by the Business Software Association of Australia.
Australia is lagging behind the US, New Zealand and the UK when it comes to reducing software piracy rates, according to a report released today.
The latest report from the Business Software Alliance (BSA) concludes that software piracy declined in the United States during 2002.
The Business Software Alliance claims that software piracy in the Asia Pacific region caused losses of US$5.5 billion to the industry in 2002.
A study has been released that claims reducing Australian software piracy from 27 percent of all software used to 17 percent could create 7,000 more jobs and boost local industry revenues by AU$5 billion over the four years till 2006.

Australian small businesses are being targetted in the latest software piracy crackdown, with companies which don't get the message under threat of court action.
