Abstract

This chapter examines piracy and the possible corporate strategies against it, focusing on four topics. First, it explains how IP can lose its market value due to obsolescence, imitation or infringement. Second, piracy as a concept is discussed and a typology of the ever-increasing piracy activities presented. Third, the chapter focuses on the impact of piracy on countries, companies and consumers. Fourth, it explores a combination of reasons derived from political economy, culture, businesses and consumers to explain the causes behind the prevalence of piracy. Finally, it recommends corporate actions and appeals to external assistance for the prevention, cure and alleviation of piracy.
