Piracy has been our country's economic problem. Last 2010, they've said that
Philippines piracy rate remained unchanged at 69 percent. It means that our country's piracy
rate remains steady in 3 years since 2007 to 2010. They've said that Philippine government
and the information technology industry will increase efforts protecting copyrights. This was
according to BSA ( Business Software Alliance ) 2010 Global Software piracy study, which
evaluates the state of software piracy around the world. There's a problem that many PC
users lack of clear understanding whether it's legal or illegal. IP Philippines, director
general Ricardo Blancaflor shared that it is a priority to create a culture that values
intellectual property and promotes innovation.
Year 2011. Finally, Philippines is not on the piracy watch list anymore. That means
there was an improvement for the government's action regarding the case. The good news
was announced by Optical Media Board Chairman Ronnie Ricketts. It was only last April 2011
that the Philippines is still on the watch list in line with movies, TV, music, and software
piracy. They've said that the anti-piracy campaign nationwide had a lot to do with the
eventual removal of the Philippines from the list.
You can see with this summarized two articles that there's still a way with our current
economic problems like piracy. We can see that past year 2007 to 2010 that there was no
changes done. It's simply because the government didn't give attention regarding our
country's piracy rate. We can see that on year 2010, our government give attention to this
case. Finally, there's been changes done. Late year 2011, our country is not on the piracy
watch list anymore. For me, in order to make changes on things to make it right is we need
innovation and actions regarding those things. We can see that if we make actions, whether
the result will be good or bad, there are still changes will be done....
