Washington-based group worked with Canadian agencies to bring about charges
totalling $330,300 for using unlicensed software (BSA & CAAS), but some are
concerned that illegal copying in Canada remains highest than in the U.S.[...]
The
study International Planning & Research undertook also found that software
piracy costs Canada $342 million each year in federal and provincial tax losses
and inhibits growth of a strong software sector. Furthermore, direct and
indirect job losses add up to 32,112 and direct and indirect wage and salary
losses weigh in at more than $1.4 billion.
