I am sure we will see the proof here in India 20 years from now...

Ofcourse Kiran Karnik must be getting a millon dollars from Microsoft or something... or just trying to be politically correct...
If indian written software is pirated then its understandable...

Hey guys... when we talk about business, we are not talking about India alone, we are talking about global business. So if a foreign mutinational gets hurt because of this it is not just a private enterprise getting hurt... its the business getting hurt... globally. Lets look how -

M firm produces a Software W... Who looses if W is not licensed?

1. M firm definetly monetarily
2. Retailers...who sell X
3. Government who will get tax on these sales
4. Job losses - more piracy.. less people required in manufacturing of CDs,in retail outlets
5. Growth of M not what it could be... so again retailers loose, government loose, job losses happen, the Jobs M could have created by those money will not be created now... research will be affected etc
7. Government could have used this money for job creation, infrastructure investment etc

Now I think even if M is not an Indian company, piracy will hit Indian economy also and that too very badly. As there are taxes on the imported s/w that M produces( i guess import duty is 10%). And mind u the PC s/w market is worth billions of dollars. Calculate these and this misconception will be wiped off.

And no I am not being paid a single penny by M

pretty good analysis ash..good work...

but i can think of an advantage of software piracy as well.... I think indias IT strength owes a lot to sw piracy. Had it not been for piracy, most middle class ppl would not have been able to afford computers and hence the IT manpower that we have today would not have been there..Piracy actually helped them to buy computers and learn .........


Please, Lord, let me prove that winning the lottery won't spoil me.

Which was exactly my point and exactly opposite what the piracy hurts india article was trying to say.
Piracy ofcourse hurts the richer worlds because they write the really important stuff... but our entire gdp growth would go down considerably if we asked the average indian or small business to pay for it....

Well eddy that is one way of looking at it... but I think that if at all piracy is totally scrapped...don't you think by some law of economics the prices of these s/w will be well in reach of Indian middle class. Well when PCs came to India... they were as expensive as 80K-100K, when cellphones came they were of 15K-20k but as more people bought them... the companies were able to meet there profit margins and able to reduce the price. Same is with any product/services in market. And same should apply to S/w... what say???
