ABSTRACT

The using of Information Technologies is essential for every sector of any industry, and the role of software is becoming more important for enlargement of its practical application. While the purchasing prices for software are increasing, the willing for producing pirated copies are existing as well. Therefore in this work, the problems associated with the reasons which cause the piracy, its process and the present software piracy situation of individual users were discovered. According to PC seller’s opinion, the high prices for the software are the main reason which leads to piracy. The possible relationship between PC sellers and software piracy was trying to be found. PC selling stores workers and the ordinary users – who visited these stores for buying a computer – as well as company workers and students were participating in the survey to gather the information. After the analysis of the survey we came to the following consequences. Acceptable prices are needed to use the genuine software, and it was found that campaigning can be more effective rather than fighting against the piracy. Based on survey several types of programs were discussed with regard to promotion of using genuine software.
