Almost all software publishers suffer from piracy, companies as diverse as:
-
Autodesk, which makes software used by civil engineers and industrial designers to create everything from buildings to cars to movie animation.
-
Adobe, which makes the ubiquitous Photoshop, Acrobat Reader, and other Web tools.
-
Symantec, which makes antivirus, security and system maintenance software.
-
IBM, which makes large database management software, email systems, and development tools.
-
Oracle, which makes large database management systems.
-
Macromedia, which makes software for Web and multimedia designers and animators.
But Microsoft is the juiciest target for pirates. This is a function of demographics (Microsoft has more kinds of software that run on more computers than any other company), expediency (you can't run 90 percent of the computers in the world without Microsoft's operating system software), culture (these are American monopolists, right?), and envy (Bill Gates won't miss my hundred and fifty bucks).
