I’m not sure how accurate StatCounter is, given that most Linux users use adblockers. However, according to it, Linux has almost a 14% desktop share in India.

I think copyright and ownership law only broken in France tho? I never seen many country that has no that kind of law? Well if you ask implementation… It’s different things. 😂
Well, your thought is wrong. Copyright infringement is an offence in India. It’s also an offence in the United States, where I live. It is also an offence in Indonesia (seeing you’re using an Indonesian instance), punishable by three years imprisonment and a 500 million rupiah fine. But maybe it’s not enforced well there so you didn’t know about it
I know there are law about it. But the implementation is different. That’s why I said the implementation not the law. So the enforcement is broken.
Last time I know business software alliance taking someone to court is when Ballmer still a CEO.
I cannot comment on how vigorously the law is enforced in other countries because I am not familiar with the legal environment. In the United States, downloading pirated content will eventually get legal notices sent to your internet service provider, who will threaten to (and legally is required to) disconnect you for repeated piracy. Using copyrighted pictures off the Internet will result in legal threats sent to you as well demanding settlements of hundreds of US dollars per picture, and they will follow through with a lawsuit if you don’t pay. Although I have no specific examples of what Microsoft has done, Autodesk and Adobe have sued people who used pirated copies of their software for millions of dollars. People who operate websites offering pirated content have been prosecuted and sent to prison.
Maybe you as an individual can get away with it in your country, but don’t assume it is the case all over the world.
I think on my first statement made you conclude that seems I assume all country all same, and It’s not what I’m intended, and sorry if it looks like that. I just want to make fun of some 3rd world country law, including my own country.
In 3rd world country, as I seen (you can say this time I made a assumption), there are law, but weak enforcement, so that’s why I joke about it. (In Indonesia it has been long time, after satya nadela took office in MS, ofc in US he took leadership, not it ID, and it lead to BSA in Indonesia become inactive, and irrelevant as I seen for past 10 years. Even there are desperate Dev that made ridiculous license that include joke not to pirate their app, and if there are pirated version of their software, they hope their family got curse, have no children, or their children become permanently ill, e tc etc)
I don’t encourage any piracy unless it’s make customer hard to pay it or the pricing is ridiculous enough and there are no alternative, but better not to do so.
I hope this clarify that it’s just for fun proposes and I don’t generalize for all country, thank you
