Business Software Alliance, the world’s foremost advocate for the software industry, will be conducting anti-piracy training sessions for inspectors working for the UAE Ministry of Economy (MoE) and other government authorities. The initiative is aimed at reducing the economic impact of software piracy by combining both education and enforcement strategies.
The Ministry includes anti-piracy efforts among its key priorities and looks forward to partnering more with the Business Software Alliance to make our law makers and law enforcers more capable of addressing this crime, said Abdullah Al Hussain, Director of the Censorship Department, UAE Ministry of Economy.
It is important that inspectors and other key government authorities be taught the proper skills in handling software piracy cases as they ultimately recommend and enforce the appropriate disciplinary actions. Initiatives such as these contribute towards achieving a collaborative approach to the piracy problem,” added Jawad Al Redha, BSA Chair, Gulf Region.
