How would it affect their economy?
Lol. It's common place for companies to use pirated software in order to reduce costs.
Licences and subscriptions can get expensive, so when companies get forced to increase costs, they tend to fuck off somewhere else.
In poorer countries, sure.
In most 1st world countries, using pirated software is basically giving groups like FAST a licence to fuck you out of business.
Italy isn't a 1st world country. It only looks that way at the top.
