Software counterfeiting and piracy is a global problem that no single entity solves alone.
From countries trying to spark their economies to businesses trying to protect their assets to consumers eager to use software free from the risks of counterfeits, we all have a stake in this issue.
Given the global worldwide impact of the issue, and the fact that it touches so many lives, it’s crucial that organizations, governments, and businesses collaborate on a regular basis to share resources, build awareness, and generate new ideas in our effort to reduce piracy. One such gathering took place this week in Paris, and I was honored to attend and participate on behalf of Microsoft.
The 6th Global Congress on Combatting Counterfeiting and Piracy is a conference jointly hosted by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), and the World Customs Organization. The conference brings together officials from the public and private sectors, from countries all over the world, with the aim of sharing ideas and practices in order to reduce global piracy. At this year’s conference, I discussed the current landscape of software piracy and how new trends affect consumers around the world.
