I found the news about Windows vista.
It reported that pirate editions of Windows vista was made in Malaysia.
Malaysia police department executed exposures of computer retail stores, which
were selling the pirate editions.

The copy rate of software is 28% in Japan. This is the same number to last year.
The highest rate is 90%. It is in Vietnam.
The lowest rate is U.S.A’s 21%.
I felt that U.S.A is very strict about like pirate edition or plagiarism after all.
