Company Executives Unite to Fight Piracy (1/2)
In 2004, the International Chamber of Commerce launched BASCAP, Business Action to Stop Counterfeiting and Piracy, to stem the surge in intellectual property theft. BASCAP's leadership group of top corporate executives issued a set of recommendations for a global anti-counterfeiting treaty being negotiated by major trading nations. They also called on the G-8 industrialized nations to lead the way in enforcing laws already on the books.
The corporate executives announced plans for an international campaign to educate consumers in the high cost of piracy. Guy Sebban, the head of the International Chamber of Commerce, says the education campaign represents an evolution in the group's thinking.
"We have recognized now that we cannot limit our actions by acting only on the supply side. We have to take into account also the demand side. We are launching different actions to convince the consumers of the importance of this problem, especially at the forefront the question linked with health and safety."
The group says health and safety issues are an important part of the anti-counterfeiting message.

在2004年，国际商会启动了BASCAP计划，即“阻止假冒和盗版商业行动”，以阻止盗窃知识产权的猖獗行为。由公司高层管理者组成的BASCAP领导小组为主要贸易国家正在讨论的关于在全球范围内反盗版的条约提出了一系列建议。他们还呼吁西方八国率先实施已制定的法律。
公司的管理者宣布了一个国际活动的计划，旨在教育消费者（认识/了解）盗版的昂贵代价。国际商会主席 Guy Sebban 指出这个培训活动代表了小组的思想发展。
“我们现在认识到了我们不能只把眼光放在提供者。我们也要考虑到需求者一方。我们开展了不同的活动以使消费者们认识到这一问题的重要性，尤其是在涉及到健康和安全的前沿问题中。”
这个小组说健康和安全问题是打击假冒活动的重要主旨。
