IT appears that the concerted anti-software piracy campaigns, carried out by the Ministry of Domestic Trade And Consumer Affairs, are bearing fruit, albeit slowly. According to figures released by the third annual Business Software Alliance (BSA) and IDC Global Software Piracy study, Malaysia's software piracy rate recorded a reduction of one percentage point to 60%.

In the US, copyright law stipulates that in a civil action, a copyright owner can immediately seek to stop an unauthorized user from using its product and can also request monetary damages. Many organizations combat the ever-growing scourge of digital piracy and copyright infringement. Just like any illicit enterprise, the world of digital piracy is largely anonymous -- with one notable exception. Operating out of Sweden where copyright laws are relaxed, the Pirate Bay bills itself as "the world's largest BitTorrent tracker."
