And that doesn't even address educational and entertainment software. With the arrest of the Pirates With Attitude ringleader, one of the larger rings was brought down, according to SIIA's Mike Flynn, manager of the Internet anti-piracy area. But, he added, there is organized piracy around the world, and battling it takes vigilance. There are a lot of people out there. Vendors must constantly stay one step ahead.
