The+international+economic+impact+of+copyright+violation

=
In our cyber world, plagiarism is becoming not only easier but more common due to the fact that accessing the information is very easy. On the other hand, these actions are against the law in most countries. Plagiarism has a really great impact on the authors of books, websites and the directors of movies. If consumers buy the real copy of the book, the author is paid money for someone buying this book, but items that violate the copyright law will cause these authors to not receive money for the work they have done, which will affect the economy. If all authors and directors then receive less money, they will spend less money. The publishing company and the film company may go into bankruptcy because they will not receive money due to the pirated products. On the other hand, many people need to survive on selling pirated items and if countries ban piracy all together, these people will need to close up. So while writing resolutions, delegates need to have a resolution that solves the problems and makes it a win-win situation for both the publishing company and also the sellers of the pirated products (note: these people do not pirate the products themselves and mainly buy them from a supplier). *Note: Extracted from Research Report coming soon. ====== ====If any delegates have questions or concerns or need a resolution corrected, feel free to e-mail me at Kevo.Wang@gmail.com. I STRONGLY suggest all delegates to bring in a copy of a resolution or some clauses your country wants to include because it is a whole day of merging and it can get very boring sitting around all day, especially if you’re not the main submitter.====

HAVE FUN!! :)
