Sina Technology News Beijing on December 9th news, according to foreign media reports, the U.S. strategic focus in the global fight against piracy is the infringement of intellectual property rights caused economic losses to the protection of intellectual property rights benefits.
According to a recent survey by the American Business Software Alliance (BSA), many countries with high piracy rates can obtain huge economic benefits through the protection of intellectual property rights. BSA president and CEO Robert - (Robert Holleyman), said: as long as the country to take measures to combat piracy, almost everyone can benefit from it. Workers will get new jobs, consumers will have more choices, businesses will be more free to put creativity on the market, the government can also increase taxes."
The study by BSA market research company IDC independently, said in a report, if the next four years the piracy rate decreased from 35% to 25%, the world will add 2 million 400 thousand new jobs, generating $400 billion in economic benefits, and bring a $67 billion tax. IDC chief research John Ganz (John Gantz) said that the survey results confirmed a long known fact: reduce software piracy can bring more funds for education, training, health care, and promote the overall growth of the global economy.
According to IT, if China's software piracy rate is reduced by 10% by 2009, it will create up to 2 million 600 thousand new IT jobs, equivalent to the number of jobs created by the United States over the past 30 years, IDC said. IDC previously released data show that China's current piracy rate of 90% in the world ranked in the top third. Russia's piracy rate is as high as 87% in the world ranked in the top fifth. IDC said that if the next four years, the software piracy rate reduced by 10%, the total output value of the Russian IT industry will increase from $9 billion 200 million to $30 billion.
The United States Department of Commerce International Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator Chris (Chris Israel) - Israel said: "for many countries, the best way to promote economic growth is the better protection of intellectual property rights." Lsrael pointed out that Chinese government has promised to ask the government to buy legitimate software by the end of this year. The Chinese government will step up IPR protection in the corporate sector next year, including state-owned enterprises. He said: "the Chinese government's commitment to achieve the goal, we have high hopes for this."
IDC's data show that the United States only 21% of software piracy, is the lowest rate of piracy in the world. But the results of the survey show that 10% of the piracy rate will bring us $125 billion in economic benefits, far more than other countries. Between 2004 and 2009, the total output value of the U.S. IT industry will grow by nearly 1/3. But if you can further increase the intensity of piracy crackdown, the total output value of the U.S. IT industry can grow by 10 percentage points. The report shows that in 2009 the total output value of the global IT industry will grow by 33%. If the piracy rate is reduced by 10%, the total output value of the global IT industry will grow by 45%.
