If you own a PC, a new survey says the chances are good that you have obtained some kind of pirated software.
The Business Software Alliance reports that in its ninth annual survey of PC users, 57 percent of them admit to have acquired paid software via some kind of pirate source.
The BSA claims that in 2011, the total amount of pirated software was worth $63.4 billion, up from $58.8 billion in 2010.
