More than 300 businesses in Vietnam have eliminated pirated software and legalized software on 20,000 computers. HCM City is pioneering this activity.

Realizing that Vietnam has been left far behind in the campaign of legalizing software, the Business Software Alliance (BSA) has decided to deal with Vietnam’s businesses with a heavy hand.

VietNamNet Bridge - Though made-in-Vietnam goods are becoming more popular, foreign goods still hold the upper hand in the home market.

 VietNamNet Bridge – The software piracy rate in Vietnam is projected to decline from 81% to 70% in the next five years and to 60% five years later, according to the U.S.-based Business Software Alliance (BSA).

VietNamNet Bridge – The Asia Pacific Director of the Business Software Alliance Tarun Sawney has praised Viet Nam's efforts in cracking down on copyright violations in a meeting with General Director of the Copyright Office Vu Ngoc Hoan.

VietNamNet Bridge – Competent agencies, which took an extraordinary inspection tour to 12 enterprises, have found that the unlicensed software products illegally used there were worth VND7 billion.

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 in collaboration with the U.S.-based business school INSEAD.
