Comment Breakdown or categories of IP theft? (Score 1) 721
Question centers mostly around entertainment content with intrinsic value (i.e., films or music).
How much time do you spend on pursuing (or facilitating the pursuit of) the individual who downloads a piece of IP outside of any approved distribution channel versus how much time you spend on people trading illegally in IP for gain (i.e., selling DVDs of a new release illegally taped at the point of theatrical release)?
Do you have a sense at what point in the value chain the leaks seem to be happening and where in your opinion should the focus of law enforcement be in stopping those leaks? Do you look more at the studio courier who has his hands at on the master copy for a few hours or do you look more at peer-to-peer systems? Do you see trends in your focus in one direction or another?
Thanks!
