The point of this slide is to show that IP piracy, because it is a black market, cannot be quantified accurately. Analysts can only come up with best guesses. With a worst and best case scenario like this as an example, all that can be said is that IP piracy is a definite problem.
So, I’m going to skip the figures, treat them as irrelevant, we know it happens, some of us know better than others. What this brief is more concerned about are the broader aspects of IP piracy – the ethical ramifications, difficulties in political and economic policy decision making, and future trends 1 – Lack of stringent international laws 2 – Lack of enforcement where laws do exist in other countries 3 – The essence of globalization itself – international business 4 – Hand-me-down technologies and infrastructure 4 – Developing countries with no ways to use the means 3 – International corporations have already done all the work 2 – Local governments have to keep people working 1 – Different countries treat IP differently
