Data Envelopment Analysis is the methodology employed, which assigns an efficiency score to the countries in order to establish a ranking of efficiency. Additionally, a relationship is established between the legal origin of the copyright law of a country and its efficiency level. The results of the efficiency analysis show that the efficient countries are Austria, Hungary, Japan, Korea, Mexico and Slovakia; this leads to the affirmation that the countries with lower levels of piracy are not always efficient. According to the legal origin of copyright law, countries with a German origin are the most efficient. Consequently, the efficiency score is not related to the level of software piracy but to the legal origin.Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades PGC2018- 095786-B-I00Mykolo Romerio UniversitetasEconomía Aplicada IEconomía e Historia EconómicaMinisterio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades (MICINN).
