This report of the International Piracy Project addresses three major topics: (1) The Costs and Complications of Piracy; (2) Rights Enforcement Today; and (3) Policy Options for Curbing Piracy. The first section discusses piracy of copyrights, patents, and other intellectual property, including economic losses and damage to the finances and reputation in the communications and information industries, and gives several examples of cases where copyright enforcement is extremely difficult. International systems of protection are described in the second section, including recent U.S. antipiracy laws and private-sector initiatives. A dozen policy options for the public and private sectors to consider are presented in the third section for the Executive Branch, Congress, international organizations, and the private sector. Actions suggested include the following: (1) demonstrate how intellectual property protection benefits developing nations; (2) monitor the effectiveness of U.S. Trade Representative actions; (3) strengthen enforcement of intellectual property rights; (4) establish a presidential commission to analyze U.S. policy and establish mechanisms for implementation; (5) hold congressional oversight hearings; (6) expand criminal penalties for piracy in new media technologies; (7) increase efforts of global organizations and establish worldwide minimum standards; (8) standardize requirements and sanctions for enforcement overseas; (9) expand private international organizations' initiatives; (10) involve local creative industries abroad; (11) set prices at levels affordable for foreign consumers; and (12) establish educational programs. An executive summary and commentaries by the panel are also provided. Relevant materials from the Business Software Association, the International Intellectual Property Alliance, and the Motion Picture Association of America are appended. (MES)
