software piracy

from the economist article, Software piracy is prevalent in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Moldova, Zimbabwe (above 90% pirated software of total). BRIC countries are also not very far - With China over 80%, Russia and India about 70% and Brazil about 60%. Suddenly, bric sounds like crib. Hehe.

The title of the article is what makes me blog it - "A Free Ride". In IIMB lingo, a free-rider is a dreaded person who enjoys peaceful life at the expense of others in his/her group.
