| Abstract: | User piracy is a major problem for the microcomputer software industry. It has been estimated that for every legitimate copy sold there are between two and ten illegal copies. Programs can be protected by special coding, fingerprinting, and other devices, but no technological protection system yet devised is completely effective. The model developed suggests that in some circumstances not protecting can be the best policy, but raising firm profits and lowering selling prices. |
