As a result, the Internet has become a key battleground in the fight against piracy.
While there is no current statistics on how extensive online piracy is, one indicator is the quantity of file-sharing data, which accounts for 43 percent of an Internet service provider's traffic.
However, Ipos pointed out that it is incorrect to assume peer- to-peer sharing is synonymous with piracy and illegal downloads.
Ipos has also taken a softer tone with its flagship Honor Intellectual Property Alliance public education campaign.
Previous campaigns cautioned against IP infringement and the risks it entails, but today's education increasingly emphasizes supporting originality.
