According to a study of the Business Software Alliance, in 2003, losses due to pirated software (thus, only software, not the other properties) were $29 billion, 36% of all software is pirated. And in 2004 and 2005 this amount has only been growing and will keep growing in the future. With Web 2.0, piracy will be more easier because of open standards; that is why this is an emerging problem for our topic.
