11:30 am - 12:00 am The Global Economics of Piracy - When the Criminals Become Your Competition
Piracy harms the profitability and quality of products on the market, hindering what is owed to the owner of its exclusive rights. This can result, in some cases, in millions of dollars of revenue unrealized.
