UNLICENSED software continued to account for an estimated 69% of all computer programs installed in the Philippines last year despite anti-piracy efforts, an annual Business Software Alliance (BSA) report showed.

“In today’s economic climate, it is critical that the Philippine government continue to support the growth of a strong technology sector. The IT sector remains an important engine of economic growth. It is essential for the government to support innovation and take steps to stimulate technology sector output which can help attract investors and accelerate the country’s economic recovery,” said Atty. Claro Parlade, BSA Director for Software Policy, Asia Pacific.

Till now, most software currently used is not legal in Philippines, Business Software Alliance will continual to push its anti-piracy campaign, they ask the Companies and Government to use legitimate software.Actually, consumers who download or buy hard copies of pirated software are at risk of receiving inferior products that leave them vulnerable to viruses, spyware and other malicious codes, as well as potential identity theft from transactions with unscrupulous businesses selling counterfeit software.

However, in other side, to the basic software like office software,  many companies and government are complaining about the high price of Microsoft Office and saying that they can’t afford it. Great Wroth company appeal to the public stop use illegal software and now, the customer have the new choice - Kingsoft Office software which is the best alternative to Microsoft Office, cost-effective and legal software.

* Why a License Matters ? ( From www.bsa.org - Business Software Alliance )
You may not realize it, but software development involves a team effort that blends the creative ideas and talents of programmers, writers and graphic artists. And like most creative works, such as books, music and films, computer software is protected by copyright laws.

When you purchase software, you do not become the owner of the copyright. Rather, you are purchasing the right to use the software under certain restrictions imposed by the copyright owner, typically the software publisher. The precise rules are described in the documentation accompanying the software — the licence. It is imperative that you understand and adhere to these rules. Most often, they state that you have the right to load the software onto a single computer and make one backup copy. If you copy, distribute or install the software in ways that the licence prohibits, whether you are swapping disks with friends and coworkers or participating in widespread duplication, you are violating federal copyright law. Even if you only help someone else make unauthorized copies, you are still liable under the copyright law.

Apart from legal consequences, using copied or counterfeit software also means:

> Greater exposure to software viruses, corrupt disks, or otherwise defective software;
> Inadequate or no documentation. No warranties;
> Lack of technical product support available to properly licenced users;
> Ineligibility for software upgrades offered to properly licenced users.
