Ukraine Has World's Worst Piracy-Fighting Record, U.S. Says

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on May 2, 2003 - 8:15am.
London -- According to a report issued by the U.S. government, Ukraine has the worst record in world when it comes to fighting piracy. As a result, the U.S. will continue to apply sanctions to the tune of $75 million against Ukraine, which reportedly turns a blind eye to the rampant copying of CDs, DVDs and computer software. The report said that Poland, Russia, Belarus and Israel were other European countries that need to do more to stop piracy. The International Intellectual Property Alliance estimates that piracy costs U.S. companies more than $22 billion every year.
