BSA Piracy Study Deeply Flawed

Posted by Zonk on from the losing-money dept.

zbik writes "Corante reports that The Economist has blown the lid off the BSA's recent report on software piracy (covered by Slashdot), referring to their methods as 'BS'. 'They dubiously presume that each piece of software pirated equals a direct loss of revenue to software firms.' The BSA has complained that the article is offensive but does not dispute their analysis. Score one for common sense."

    I just hope BSA hit everyone as hard as they can. I hope BSA act like MPAA/RIAA. Then finally people realize what 'free' (as in both freedom and beer) software are all about, and why MS's business model is evil.
