A Milan ncora bottom of the class. But with some signs of improvement. When it comes to illegal software in Europe, it is easy to see where the teacher will point the finger. And we are always too smart. We do not reach the heights of Russia, India and Venezuela, more than 80% of operating in the “black”, but in the old continent is difficult to find countries like ours, where one out of two is pirated software. Now the phenomenon would seem to travel in the opposite direction, in the sense that, at least a few percentage points, the needle has stopped running forward. Meanwhile, a cloudy arrives in the European scenario. According to data collected by BSA Global Software, the leading organization in the industry worldwide in the international market and government in Western Europe the rate of unlicensed software installed on the PC is dropped by three points to reach 29% in 2013, with a market value of € 9 billion. Under the lens of the study is over the behavior of over 22,000 users (private and corporate) in 34 different countries. In the European Union alone, the turnover of pirated software has reached $ 13.5 billion in 2013, a figure that exceeds 62 billion if you count all over the world. And Italy, with 47% Percentage outside the law, in practice a two Pc, a figure down by two percentage points compared to 2010, trying to chase the wake of change.

Meanwhile, those who do so shall be subject to penalties. And “then exposes himself to a long series of risks: the infiltration of malware intrusion by hackers.” A plunge in the percentage of illegal software in Italy could help channel development cloud, “by which the costs are reduced, and you pay for what you actually use.” The sign of improvement, or at least have some chance of being promoted, does not come from Europe, but from the United States. After 25 years in which Italy was considered to be a critical with regard to the protection of the rights and the protection of copyright, this year our country from the blacklist. The Special 301 Report, which is the annual document with which the office of the US trade (USTR) analyzes the international situation in the field of intellectual property, has removed the Peninsula from the “black list” of villains. This has happened due to some type of regulatory interventions that could take down the flags to software pirates. On all the new regulation is the NRA and a law that gives the criminal offenses in the field of intellectual property. “This is a very important step – says Simonetta Moreschini – which puts us in a position to bridge the gap with other European countries in terms of the spread of illegal software.” Another benefit is the NRA regulation and legislation that gives the criminal offenses in the field of intellectual property
