Abstract

In this paper, the relationship between software security and piracy rates is been analyzed, by utilizing an information set for three European nations of extreme importance as regarding the 2008 economic crisis, Greece, Germany, and England. Having undergone thorough research and empirical analysis, taking into consideration Monte Carlo simulation technique we discover proof that research and development impacts negatively piracy rates. We likewise find that piracy rates are affected negatively by per capita income. The above discoveries are supportive to the consideration of different descriptors recommended by the empirical literature on piracy.
