Pirated Software Cheap But
Unreliable
By Azaraimy
Bandar Seri
Begawan - In an interview with the Bulletin yesterday, Mr Lars
Jeppesen the CEO of TechDistribution Ltd highlighted that a lot of
users, including public offices and departments, are using pirated
software copies and if there is no one here to provide services and
support, it is very difficult to justify.
He believes that bringing added value
to software products and educating end users on the benefits and
issues of piracy are important.
Lars Jeppesen said that buying
pirated software is not only wrong, but it could also bring problems.
Most of the companies that use them lose data and go bankrupt.
Microsoft updates its software to make it secure and safe. With
licensed software, those updates can be downloaded on a regular basis.
He added that after doing research,
they found that most people do not understand why they have to buy
original copies since they could get much cheaper pirated ones.
"So our approach in the market is to
educate and get people to know", he said, adding, "This will hopefully
make people realise that they have to do the right thing, that is
buying only licensed products". -- Courtesy of Borneo
