Book excerpt: This monograph presents the findings of research into the involvement of organized crime and terrorist groups in counterfeiting a wide range of products, from watches to automobile parts, from pharmaceuticals to computer software. It presents detailed case studies from around the globe in one area of counterfeiting, film piracy, to illustrate the broader problem of criminal -- and perhaps terrorist -- groups finding a new and not-much-discussed way of funding their activities. Piracy is high in payoff and low in risk, often taking place under the radar of law enforcement. The case studies provide compelling evidence of a broad, geographically dispersed, and continuing connection between film piracy and organized crime, as well as evidence that terrorist groups have used the proceeds of film piracy to finance their activities. Counterfeiting is a threat not only to the global information economy, but also to public safety and national security. Cooperation among law enforcement and governments around the world is needed in the battle against intellectual-property theft, and meaningful progress will require increased political will, strong legislation, consistent enforcement, deterrent sentencing, and innovative solutions. Increased global intelligence-gathering and sharing is needed to further illuminate the scope and nature of the connections between piracy and organized crime, and policy makers and law enforcement agencies worldwide should reexamine the common but erroneous assumption that counterfeiting is a victimless crime.

Book excerpt: The illegal uses of P2P technology for film piracy have significantly increased over the last years and have started to outweigh the legal. More importantly it has become a major source of income for powerful, well organized terrorists groups. Film piracy costs the film industry approximately 2 0.5 billion dollars annually with the bulk of that money directly funding terrorist activities. The prevalence of anonyimzers makes it a challenge to monitor/control the illegal uses of P2P technology. The purpose of this research was to assess the impact of masking techniques specifically on film piracy. This paper will address how anonymizers and P2P clients can be used to help circumvent film piracy laws, discusses the relationship between global terrorism and film piracy, and copyright holders dealing with film piracy poses a risk to a potential cyber-attack in United States. Some recommendations included in this paper are advanced watermarks, economically friendly distribution methods, and the expansion of NSA's PRISM program. Keywords: Cybersecurity, Professor Chris Riddell, Film, Piracy, Terrorism, Cyber-attacks, DDoS.
