Chapter Chapter 11 in Understanding and Profiting from Intellectual Property in International Business, 2021, pp 259-294 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter examines piracy and the possible corporate strategies against it. First, it explains how IP can lose its market value due to obsolescence, imitation, or infringement. Second, I discuss piracy as a concept and a typology with ever-increasing activities. Third, the chapter details the impact of piracy on the key stakeholders: countries, companies, and consumers. Next, 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.
