Abstract: Abstract Business managers need to monitor several trends regarding the protection of a firm’s intellectual property on the Internet. In this chapter, we examine that pirates on the virtual sea can be very sophisticated opponents, such as the Warez group, and that various stakeholders create the supply and demand for fake goods by way of a pyramid of Internet piracy. We provide a synopsis of recent US government sting operations with the assistance of other countries to target Internet piracy.
