✦ Synopsis
Software giants who feel cheated of revenue software piracy have been deploying Web crawling software since January in Europe to curb the loss.
The Business Software Alliance (BSA) believes companies are benefiting from illegal software to improve productivity at work. Theft in the retail market amounts to only 2% compared to a lofty 37% in the software industry say the BSA.
The 24 X 7 Web crawling software "is very effective," said Beth Scott, Vice President of EMEA, Business Software Alliance, which works on behalf off and is funded by 15 software vendors including Microsoft and Symantec.
