Inside Game Piracy, Part 1- Crushing Discs, Pushing Education on Gamasutra talks with Christian Svensson of the PC Gaming Alliance for an update on how this trade group plans to tackle one of its missions of curtailing game piracy, which for now sound like they are planning to convene a subcommittee to discuss planning this. They also hear from Ric Hirsch of the Entertainment Software Association, a more action-oriented group who are currently operating in seven countries to find and destroy counterfeit and pirated games. There is also a discussion of digital distribution of pirated materials, and the complications of trying to address this, and this part one concludes discussing the influence education may have on piracy. Tomorrow's part two will focus on "counter-measures, copy protection schemes, and new solutions for piracy-related issues."
