Việt Nam có thói quen sử dùng phần mềm không bản quyền ( phần mềm chùa ) , nhiều người vẫn tranh luận với lý do “ tiết kiệm “ . Bỏ qua các tranh cãi về đạo đức, trách nhiệm,. nghiên cứu dưới đây chỉ ra rằng việc sử dụng phần mềm có bản quyền là 1 lợi ích kinh tế cho đất nước.
Each 1% increase in the number of copyrighted software will generate an extra US$50 million for Vietnam, says a research project conducted by the Software Alliance (BSA) in collaboration with the U.S.-based business school INSEAD.
The research, whose results were published on Tuesday, is to prove that the extensive use of copyrighted software is meaningful to the economy of a nation. It is based on the data on software production and consumption collected from 95 countries, including Vietnam among 15 Asian nations.

"I loathe the expression "What makes him tick." It is the American mind, looking for simple and singular solution, that uses the foolish expression. A person not only ticks, he also chimes and strikes the hour, falls and breaks and has to be put together again, and sometimes stops like an electric clock in a thunderstorm."
