PH software piracy still high at 64%

The use of pirated software remains high in the Philippines despite gains made over the past 14 years, a trade group said on Friday as it launched a new push to get consumers and business to patronize licensed products.

In a briefing, the Business Software Alliance (BSA) said the piracy rate had gone down to 64 percent as of 2017, down from 67 percent two years earlier and the 72 percent recorded in 2003.
