BSA Piracy Study Deeply Flawed

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you, to discover the BSA may have been inflating piracy figures ...

Corante reports that The Economist has blown the lid off the BSA's recent report on software piracy (covered by Slashdot), referring to their methods as 'BS'. 'They dubiously presume that each piece of software pirated equals a direct loss of revenue to software firms.' The BSA has complained that the article is offensive but does not dispute their analysis. Score one for common sense.
