Piracy detection rate

In order to catch the pirates, the user's (pirate's) computer has to send information back to us at registration. If the user is behind a firewall, or if the user is not on the internet when he/she registers, no data will be collected. This is why the piracy detection rate is the highest for Type C software. 

Type A - Non-internet enabled software include:
business,
finance,
graphics,
multimedia,
web development, etc..

Type B - Internet enabled software include:
Software that supports ftp, e-mail, web download, etc.. 
In these cases, the user may allow software the access to the internet.

Type C - Internet-must-on type of software:
In these cases, the user has to allow software the access to the internet at all time for it to function.  This type of software include:
Network monitoring,
Network File System Utilities, etc..
 

For every purchased copy of a software, there are many pirated copies.  These Numbers depend on the type of the software.  Of course, there are other factors as well.  The graph is based on many of our clients' data; and will change when we add more data.
 

Type of software - see description on the left.
