Eradication of counterfeit products such as pirated software requires a strategic approach as well as a multi-pronged program of action centering around intelligence, airtight investigation and effective legal follow through in the courts. A strategic preventive approach coupled with strong political will that can be developed by forming strategic partnership with the authorities is also an imperative in combating piracy in the longer term.
