ELSPA gearing up to fight next-gen pirates |
Ó
ELSPA unveiled their anti-piracy plans for 2007 and they're taking off the kid gloves and taking on online and digital thieves. According to ELSPA Director">Paul Jackson, ELSPA director general, the organization is not only ready to tackle both political and public opinion battles but is "perfectly prepared to deal with the new forms of theft that are coming forward."
This year ELSPA aims to forge a closer tie with the UK Government in five major areas:
- Promoting education for new industry entrants
- Highlighting the economic importance of the UK games industry
- Taking a stronger stance on piracy.
- Promoting the public's understanding of the educational and social benefits of gaming
- Demonstrating the importance of games as a part of digital and creative culture
"Our aim is to a lot more in-depth investigative anti-piracy work, as opposed to the anti-piracy work... in the past. And that needs a different type of anti-piracy unit, which is what we've been constructing," said Jackson.
According to Transgaming Technologies, more than US$ 3 billion are lost worldwide to video game piracy every year.

haha lol @ ELSPA...............
As always they make the ridiculous assumption that everyone out there with a pirated copy of something would have purchased the original if they hadn't been able to pirate it.
The real loss to piracy is probably more like 10% of that number. There are people who wouldn't have bought at all, people who would have borrowed it from a friend legally (although they are trying to fight that as well), people who would have waited to pick it up until it was bagain binned, and , and people who would have just rented it.
