The Business Software Alliance (BSA) has pulled over seven hundred websites, predominantly displaying pornographic content, which were caught using pirated software.
Working in partnership with ISPs over the last six months, the BSA substituted the home page of the infringing sites with details of its own campaign against software fraud.
The strategy helped boost the number of hits to BSA's own websites from 15,500 last year to 1,301,945 this year.
In addition, the BSA announced a 150 per cent rise in financial settlements, following legal action against sites using stolen software.
The latest figures show the rate of software piracy in Europe is at 36 per cent, resulting in losses to the industry of $2.7 billion.
