A-Comprehension : Read the text carefully then do the activities. 7PTS
The theft of intellectual property has become as serious for society as the theft of physical property. Not only has the problems grown in size-now accounting for $600 billion per year in counterfeit goods worldwide-but also in the range of products and the geographic scope.
Almost every successful product-pharmaceuticals, toys, spare parts for cars and aircraft, software entertainment products, clothes, cosmetics and fashion accessories-is being copied. All regions are now both production and consumption areas, and almost no country is unaffected by the problem.
Intellectual property theft has become a sophisticated industry using high technology, the Internet, and the networks and know-how of organized crime. Counterfeiting and piracy are more profitable than narcotics but without the risks; they are becoming the number one crime of the 21st century. Combating them has become a priority for society, and not just for intellectual property right holders.
