Rodger explains that although about 75% said they were planning to purchase hardware or a new computer, but over 60% also indicated they knew where to download free or pirated software illegally. Rodger shares some piracy statistics, fines, and the overall impact that stealing software has on developers. He noted that one of the main factors involved in stopping piracy is education and notes that the majority of people reported they would no longer obtain software illegally once they knew the risks.
