Survey finds pirates rule online auction
Cnet reports in this article that software pirates rule the online auctions.

Interesting in this article is that there seems to be another organization that is searching for pirated software. As most people are afraid for the BSA and Dutch people for the BUMA/STEMRA, the Software and Information Industry Association (SIIA) seems also to be active against pirated software.

The percentage (of pirated software auctions) was far higher than what we expected it to be," said Peter Beruk, SIIA's vice president in charge of anti-piracy programs. "This is nothing more than a pirate's haven at this point."
It seems that our dealer section and forum have some competition ? Although people only sell back-ups there of course.
