UAE authorities pledge to step up anti-piracy drive ahead of annual software piracy study release

The UAE authorities have announced stepping up of efforts to bring down software piracy levels in the country by reinforcing their association with Business Software Alliance (BSA), the organization dedicated to promoting a safe and legal digital world, with a view to effectively safeguard the integrity of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR).
The proposed measures include organizing more awareness campaigns to create better understanding of the detrimental impact of software piracy, and ensuring rigorous enforcement of IPR and copyright laws. The move comes just weeks ahead of the release of the annual worldwide piracy figures by IDC (International Data Corporation), the IT industry’s leading global market research and forecasting firm.
“Looking at the most developed and progressive
economies in the world, one can find that they all have creditable
records in keeping piracy under check and that stringent enforcement of
IPR laws has been a major contributing factor to the success they have
achieved. For UAE to achieve similar global profile it is essential
that it steps up its drive against piracy, especially in light of the
globalization efforts and the country’s accession to the WTO regime,
