\nThis morning, December 3, National Day to Combat Piracy, ABES (Brazilian Association of Software Companies) started the destruction of more than 2.1 million<\/strong> of CD's and DVD's containing illegal software.
\n 
\nThe material is the result of search and seizure operations carried out by the authorities in recent years and was stored under the responsibility of the entity that is the faithful depositary of the material until it received judicial authorization to be destroyed.
\n 
\nThe entity's Legal Director, Dr. Manoel Ant\u00f4nio dos Santos, explains that the crime of software piracy brings concern not only to the technology sector and to the consumer, but also to society by failing to collect revenues and taxes, which could revert in the form of benefits for education and health, in addition to being directly linked to organized crime.
\n 
\n\u201cIt is also important to highlight that, through ABES - an entity that represents the sector - software companies injured by the crime of piracy still need to bear the costs of storage and logistics of this material seized for years until the process is concluded and the material receives authorization to be destroyed \u201d, explains Dr. Manoel.
\n 
\nThe destruction will be carried out by the company Plasnoi Com\u00e9rcio de Pl\u00e1sticos, by means of a grinding mill, which fragmented all the material for recycling.
\n 
\nAccording to the lawyer, when ABES started working against software piracy in Brazil, in the 1980s, the piracy rate reached more than 90%. Today, after a lot of awareness work and new ways of selling software licenses, the index has dropped to 50%, but it is still worrying. With the migration of a large part of piracy to the virtual environment, the entity has invested heavily in its service of Internet Monitoring<\/strong> and in Anonymous Reporting Portal<\/strong> against Software Piracy http:\/\/www.denunciepirataria.org.br\/<\/a>.
\n 
\nAccording to the entity, in 2015, until the month of November, ABES 'Internet Monitoring service managed to remove around 65 thousand <\/strong>ads, links and websites with content that gave access to files that violate the Software Copyright of the entity's associates.
\n 
\n\u201cWe achieved a significant decrease in the last few years, but it took more than three decades to still live with half of the computer programs used in Brazil without authorization to use. For this reason, we know that there is still a lot to be done about Intellectual Property in Brazil \u201d, says Dr. Manoel Ant\u00f4nio dos Santos.
