Note that this number is about piracy in business corporations.

I don't think so, but there's no link so how can we know for sure?

The piracy rate of truly all PC software (with private use included) is a lot higher than 41%. Probably more like 80-90%.

What do you base that on?

My own habits, my friend's and aquintance's habits over the years and what I read on forums (and this is in a high income country like Sweden). We pirate on average 98% PC stuff.

And knowing that China, Russia, rest of Eastern Europe are much worse, of course it's just a joke that less than half of all PC software (like the 41% in the report) would be pirated/illegal. A big joke.

 

So anecdotal evidence... Mmm, ok.
