95% of software in Armenia are illegal, the Microsoft representative
in Armenia Grigor Barsegyan said during the presentation of localized
Armenian version of Windows EX today.
He said that Armenia's key resource is intellectual potential and the
country must protect it by means of copyright. Otherwise, the authors
of intellectual products will leave Armenia for the countries that
will protect their intellectual property. Unless Armenia takes serious
measures to protect copyright, it risks to "scare off" serious
investments. This problem is present not only in the IT sector but in
very many other spheres.
Still the situation is improving as people and companies in Armenia
are beginning to understand that it is safer and better to use
licensed software. One such example is VivaCell who provides higher
quality services due to licensed software.
