The Minister of Justice, Tarso Genro, launched this Thursday (28), the National Plan to Combat Piracy. According to the project should be implemented around 23 actions until the end of 2012.
On occasion, the minister said the project aims to aware the consumer about the damage caused by the purchase of pirated products. "The consumer has to understand that when he buys a pirated product, is buying against himself, is buying a bad product, which pays no taxes and reduces the collection and generation of jobs," he emphasized.
According to Agência Brasil, the first actions should happen in the cities of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Brasília, Ribeirão Preto and Curitiba.
Among priority initiatives is the establishment of the program “Piracy Free City”, which will be conducted through a partnership between the federal government and municipalities against counterfeiting. Another project planned is the 'Trade against piracy', which will associate with retailers and shopping malls. But the 'Portal to fight piracy', is responsible for the dissemination of educational campaigns on the internet.
It will also be performed an action toward the street traders. Called “Legal Fair”, the project seeks to replace the copied goods by originals in popular places of trade.
