By Design News Staff -- Design News, August 15, 2004
Autodesk is winning a battle against the many companies who use unauthorized copies of its software. The company has recovered $63 million since its Piracy Prevention Program was started in 1989 and $3 million so far in 2004. The First Annual Business Software Alliance and International Data Corporation Global Software Piracy Study was also recently released, pointing out an alarming piracy trend. PC software companies estimate they lose $6.5 billion annually compared to $3 billion lost in the U.S. motion picture industry and $4.2 billion lost in the U.S. recording industry according to the Recording Industry Association of America.
