BSA aims for piracy-free GITEX Shopper 2006

Business Software Alliance (BSA) will seek to raise awareness about the importance of protecting Intellectual Property Rights during Gitex Shopper 2006, by hosting a number of activities at their stand at the event.

 

BSA’s presence at Gitex Shopper 2006, the largest exhibition for IT solutions trading in the Middle East and the retail arm of Gitex Dubai 2006, is aimed at highlighting the benefits of using original software and the influence it has on increasing productivity.

 

BSA will distribute brochures and software management guides during Gitex Shopper, in order to raise awareness and educate the public about Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and the UAE copyright laws, as well as about the measures being taken by the UAE Government to protect IPR laws.

The BSA brochures and booklets will also highlight the detrimental effects of software piracy on the global economic system and on local economies, while outlining the measures to be adopted to restrict the spread of piracy. BSA will also conduct its annual Online Quiz, which gives away instant prizes in addition to software prizes at the end of Gitex Shopper 2006.
