It's just not enough," [Lynn Mattice] says. "It's only the tip of the iceberg." Mattice adds that only a handful of convictions have resulted in prison sentences since the enactment of the Economic Espionage Act (EEA) of 1996.

Many organizations combat the ever-growing scourge of digital piracy and copyright infringement.
