Fraud and piracy of products and ideas have become common in the
early twenty-first century, as opportunities to commit them expand,
and technology makes fraud and piracy easy to carry out. In
Combating Piracy: Intellectual Property Theft and Fraud, Jay S.
Albanese and his contributors provide new analyses of intellectual
property theft and how perpetrators innovate and adapt in response
to shifting opportunities. The cases described here illustrate the
wide-ranging nature of the activity and the spectrum of persons
involved in piracy of intellectual property. Intellectual property
theft includes stolen copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and
patents, which represent the creative work of individuals for which
others cannot claim credit. The distributors of books, movies,
music, and other forms of intellectual property pay for this right,
and those who distribute this work without compensation to its
creator effectively hijack or "pirate" that property without the
owner's or distributor's permission. The problem has grown to the
point where most software in many parts of the world is pirated.
The World Health Organization estimates that 10 percent of all
pharmaceuticals available worldwide are counterfeit. Such
widespread fraud illustrates the global reach of the problem and
the need for international remedies that include changed attitudes,
public education, increasing the likelihood of apprehension, and
reducing available opportunities. The contributors show that piracy
is a form of fraud, a form of organized crime, a white-collar
crime, a criminal activity with causes we can isolate and prevent,
and a global problem. This book examines each of these perspectives
to determine how they contribute to our understanding of the issues
involved.
