Abstract

The piracy rate in Asia Pacific region has been historically higher than the world average since the BSA global piracy study was first conducted in 2004 (BSA/IDC Global Software Piracy Study 2013). This study aims to identify which demographic factors affect software piracy in two Asian countries, Japan and Vietnam, which have drastically different piracy rates, economic development stages, income levels, and national cultures. The statistical analysis of data reveals that among various factors, country difference, education, and gender most significantly influence software piracy. In addition, this study offers recommendations on how to curb software piracy effectively.
