Global IT market large and growing – 2003 IDC Study Globally – IT contributes $932 billion Employs over 9 million people in more than 1 million companies Raises $700 billion in tax revenues

Economic Benefits of Commercial Software – IDC Study Software is a key driver of IT sector growth In 2001, software and IT services accounted for more than 60% of IT sector spending US$180 billion for the packaged software industry

Asia’s IT market growth led by software IT $175 billion industry Employs 3 million people Generates $95 billion in taxes Software industry alone $25 billion sector and fastest growing component of IT industry Between , IT sector projected to grow by 54% BUT with 10 point reduction in piracy levels IT sector could grow by 94%, nearly twice as fast

Harnessing IT economic benefits Key Finding: A country’s software piracy rate is a key differentiator between countries that enjoy vast IT economic benefits and those yet to unleash them.

What a 10 point drop in piracy could mean for Asia economies Directly contribute an additional $170 billion to Asia’s economies Create 1.1 million new jobs Increase local industry revenues by nearly $120 billion Generate $15 billion in taxes

Invest in Protection Asia would enjoy greater economic benefits if it invests more in IP protection Governments should play an active role in combating piracy and supporting IT industry

BSA’s role in reducing software piracy Three-Prong Approach  Public Policy Copyright Protection TRIPS and WIPO Treaties: criminal penalties, statutory damages, ISP liability, temporary copy protection, ACM, RMI Optical disc legislation  Education Educational campaigns to create IPR awareness Work closely with government and industry on joint activities to educate businesses on software piracy. This includes joint poster campaigns, road shows and direct mailer campaigns  Enforcement Support law enforcement to counter piracy Conduct own anti-piracy activities

TRIPS Agreement WTO TRIPS Agreement (Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights) first major international treaty to go beyond the definition of basic rights to address procedures and remedies necessary to secure those rights against infringement TRIPS requires procedures and remedies that actually work in practice to deter and prevent infringement Members required to adopt enforcement procedures that “permit effective action” against infringements, including “expeditious remedies to prevent infringements” and “remedies which constitute a deterrent to further infringements” -surprise searches in civil and criminal proceedings (ex parte)

TRIPS Agreement -damages that compensate the right owner and deter infringements (recovery of full actual costs and higher (even “pre-determined”) damages in civil cases -Criminal penalties required “at least in cases of copyright piracy on a commercial scale” -Expeditious remedies and procedures that do not entail unwarranted delays In short, TRIPS requires government commitment to enforcement by providing “effective action” and “expeditious remedies” to deter and prevent infringement.

WIPO Treaties WIPO Copyright Treaty (WCT) and WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty (WPPT) Adopted in December 1996 to bring copyright law into the electronic commerce age by granting new exclusive rights, including: -Making Available Right: the right to authorize or prohibit the making available of a work by wire or wireless means, such that members of the public may access a work at the time and place they choose -Protection of works in digital form: Berne convention covers reproduction in any manner or form and WIPO treaties confirm reproduction right “fully applies in the digital environment including electronic storage of digital works
