Well very hard to compare the piracy act for different goods. let me give one example of textile goods you can buy many branded goods such as dieslel, niky, adidas etc in the some of the commercial outlets which are produced in Thaialnd with different quality grades in the same name. Why is the piracy act not attack these people who are selling the goods in main shopping malls?. Each pirated niky shoes can cost about more than 700 baht but when you go to real niky shoes the cost could be more than 3000 baht.needs the developing country market for their trading and a vice versa too. If you lookinto manufacturing of all these software goods were done in the developing countries at low cost? . My final opinion on these issues is until unless you have standard fair trade and intellectuals
In my opinion there is a need of piracy act in all level in all the sectors not only for software alone. How to tackle these issues? Developed countries are filled with too many international laws? Well software piracy is hard to comapre for local standards?. Consumer neverstops buying pirates?. In my opinion software companies should relook in the pricing strategy on their product price?. It need to be affordable too all consumers? Almost all software production companies works with the motivation of high profit maximization. Software produciton is brain oriented and produciton cost depends on the salery of the brainy people and it can be multiplyble too. Internaitonal laws need to be same for all the countires in all the goods rights. But if we look in to property right act itself in the developed countries is very expensive?. How do you bechmark the pricing and licencing cost in a affordable way for all the consumers and the innovators in the internaitonal?. And another issue is developed country property laws at moderate rate, it is hard to stop piracy.
It' s hard, to stop piracy at all, but not so hard to reduce it to a small level. look at the Thai police, if the pirated items
come from Malaysia or Laos, it takes them a few hours only, to know about and to confiscate that items. Absolutely
an outstanding job. But...... if the fake goods are produced in Thailand, they do nothing, and if sometimes, for show only. If You report to the police, your intellectuel property rights are pirated, they maby show up after 2 or 4 weeks, the vendors
know, if and when they show up. The police finds nothing and will never go there anymore, and You might have to see the court, and face the case the vendors ask for compensation as you have damaged their image. Some police do not even accept your claim.
