I was searching for anti-piracy raids and came across this page

http://members.microsoft.com/partner/india/IPRCase1.aspx

"A recent BSA-IDC study points out the impact of reduction in piracy
in India. It states that a reduction from the 70% level in 2002 to 60%
by 2006 will add $2 billion to India's economy, increase local
industry revenues by around $1.6 billion, generate 48,435 new
high-tech, high-wage jobs and generate $92.4 million in tax revenues
for the government. The projected IT growth during 2002-06 will stand
at 148% if the piracy rate continues at the present level of 70%.
However, the 10-percentage point reduction can up that growth to
163%."

Funny how they came up with the exact number of IT jobs :).
Also interesting the way they have estimated IT growth if piracy is reduced.
I wonder how by increasing a company's expenses it is going to grow faster.
The tax of 92 Million Dollar seems to be too low for the sales
required to match the above data. A brief analysis of the data is
given as a comment at
