| $1 Billion Software Piracy Milestone Reached |
"From my research at IDC, I can report that software piracy is a global and enduring problem for the software industry," said John Gantz, senior vice president at IDC. "At the same time, it is also an opportunity if vendors can convert some of their pirating customers to paid customers. But identifying prospects for conversion from among the entire universe of software pirates has always been a problem. Now V.i. Labs has a technical solution to help companies identify such prospects and develop recovery strategies."
"For our sample customer size, one billion dollars is a huge number, and may even point to a more significant risk to intellectual property globally than what's been estimated by the Business Software Alliance," said Victor DeMarines, vice president of Products, V.i.

"Our Piracy Pipeline comes from measuring the actual use of unlicensed software, and the fact that our customers are seeing a continuous growth in the number of infringing users suggests that the current $1 billion is just the beginning."
