"This research is based on the user's behavior and lack of law enforcement in the use of illegal software," said Secretary General of the Anti-Counterfeiting Indonesia Society (MIAP) Justisiari P. Kusumah in Jakarta, Thursday (16/2).

Kusumah who is also Indonesia's attorney said the BSA, BSA conducted a survey to 400-500 respondents in 32 countries. Other results show a global basis, based on research by BSA as much as 47 percent of personal computer users worldwide use illegal software.

"Furthermore, Indonesia was ranked 11th by the number of illegal or pirated software usage by 87 percent," he said.

It was based on the use of illegal software / pirated, IDC (International Data Corporation), in 2010 Piracy Study released in May 2011. Meanwhile, several other studies on the 2010 state fake software products into one product that many consumers use Indonesia during 2010, which amounted to 34.1 percent.

According to him, the argument that says counterfeiting and piracy activities have helped the country's economy and creating jobs is an invalid argument.

NASA Ready Goes To The Moon

WASHINGTON - While NASA will not soon return to the Moon in the near future, will not be long before the space tourists will probably overrun the former Apollo landing sites.

Chances are helping rekindle support for the claim on the moon landing site as a reserve or national park history, thus ensuring the site was safe from interference.

From 1969 to 1972, NASA put the mission on the Moon 6. Each landed in different places, but in each of these landing-astronaut astronaut United States (U.S.) always leave artifacts. Apollo 11, the first mission, leaving a variety of goods, from the "camera, lunar TV" to a set of urine collection.

This summer, NASA has released guidelines on the protection of artifacts and the landing site. They announced a no-fly zone covering an area of ​​1,200 hectares around the site the first landing mission, Apollo 11, and the last one, Apollo 17.

What made him hurry? NASA has begun to get inquiries from two dozen or more teams competing for $ 30 million Google Lunar X Prize, for those who managed to land a robot on the surface of the Moon with independent funding.

The Exquisite Space Pics: A Skywatcher Captures the Cosmos Blowing a Beautiful Gas Bubble

Robert Bigelow is not a small name in the space world. His company Bigelow Aerospace is a pioneer of inflatable spacecraft, and the company has made waves with its plans for an inflatable, orbiting space hotel (not coincidentally, Bigelow's fortunes come from his ownership of the Budget Suites motel chain). So when he says something about the future of space travel, we listen. On the other hand, when he says that China is planning to take over the moon circa 2025, we listen, but with skepticism.
At the International Symposium for Personal and Commercial Spaceflight, Bigelow laid out a timeline of a wild-west-style Chinese takeover of the moon, calling China "the new gunslinger in Dodge." Bigelow's timeline notes China's increasing success in space projects, up to and including last month's launch of the Tiangong Space Station module. He further declares that the moon's abundance in helium-3, a possible future fuel, but more importantly that "claiming" the moon would be a major glory moment for China. The timeline suggests that China will complete surveys of the moon, withdraw from the Outer Space Treaty of 1967 and formally claim the moon as part of China. Bigelow even suggested diverting 10 percent of the defense budget--some $60 billion--to preventing this moon theft.

So, we are skeptical. For lots of reasons. First, there's no evidence that China has any designs on such a plan, which of course they couldn't execute anytime soon, because their space technology is years, possibly decades, behind Russia's and the European Space Agency's. (Behind us, too, but we've sort of taken ourselves out of that game.) For another thing, there's no guarantee that the moon's raw materials will actually be of any use for energy here on Earth. MSNBC contacted an expert, Dean Cheng of the "conservative-leaning Heritage Foundation," who said anything "inflammatory" like claiming possession of the moon is "not likely." And Bigelow may be a private space agency pioneer and a damn fine budget hotelier, but the guy does not exactly have a background in international relations.
