World¶s Top Piracy Markets!
Posted: 02 Mar 2011 03:44 AM PST
Technology has two sides to it ± positive and negative. And in whichever industry it is applied, the boon and
the bane of the technology get oozed out creating sizzles across the sector. While the media and
entertainment industry has benefited a great deal from the ever-changing, sophisticated technology; it is
equally prone to the biggest evil of technology ± the piracy .
In India, Delhi¶s Nehru Place and Palika Bazaar are identified as the biggest few markets in the world
for pirated and counterfeited products related to computer hardware and software by a US agency. That¶s
not all! Even Mumbai¶s famous Manish Market, Heera Panna and Lamington road are listed
as piracy hubs of India.
In fact, even China¶s popular website Baidu ± largest MP3 search engine regionally ± finds it name in the
list by the US music industry for the vast majority of the illegal downloads in China.
The US Trade Representative has prepared a µNotorious Markets List¶ with more than 30 internet and
physical markets that are thriving hubs of pirated products. It has pegged the worldwide value for pirated
products to be $1.78 trillion by 2015.
