Piracy dominates IT market
Software piracy means unauthorised copying of software. Software industries lose a lot of money every year due to piracy. And no matter whatever legal steps they take, it seems that these unscrupulous businessmen are always one step ahead of them.
Being a third world country, Bangladesh will require a lot of efforts to keep up the competitive trend with other countries in the worldwide IT market. But if pirated software continues to dominate the IT market in the country, the local programmers and developers will not stand a chance to show their potential. The existing laws are not enough to reduce software piracy. We must raise awareness among young people about its negative impacts on the country's economy.
