London -- According to a new study by the Business Software Alliance (BSA), IT companies are ironically England's worst offenders when it comes to software piracy. The BSA said that out of the 50 settlements made with the group last year, 12 were made by IT firms, nearly a quarter of the total. The BSA's Northern Europe manager Siobhan Carroll said that the alliance was "particularly unhappy to see the lack of diligence within the IT sector", adding that, of all sectors, the IT sector should realise the "effect of piracy on software innovation and the development of the IT sector as a whole".
