The level of copyright piracy in Armenia exceeded 90% last year, whereas the report on 2010 will be issued in the next several months.

However, Grigor Barseghyan, head of the Microsoft Armenian representation, forecasts 2010 indicators are more encouraging which can be explained by 2 factors: government’s approach to copyright protection issues, legislative reforms, and public attitude towards licensed software.

A law providing for compulsory excise taxation of all disks sold in Armenia will come into effect starting from March 1, Barseghyan told Armenian News- NEWS.am Innovation.
