The Wild Wild East



This beautiful place is Podgorica, Montenegro where online piracy is an enormous industry. It's estimated that 83% of all software and software accounts are pirated. This is the highest level in the region but surrounding countries use between 40-70% pirated software. The country is also responsible for hosting the servers of services that provide safety for pirated document storage. ProjectFreeTV.me has fluctuated in relevance over the past 5 years but has always been located in Montenegro. Oliver Obradovic of Microsoft Montenegro noted that the issue is mostly caused by individuals and small businesses who see an opportunity to make some easy money. Countries like Gabon in Africa and the Phillipines host many of the servers responsible for the Copyright issues of more economically developed countries.
