Peru: Government adopts guidelines to fight back software piracy Peruvian industrial property institute Indecopi is detailing for the public the copyright bill that regulates the proper use of software, fighting back a widespread piracy. Indecopi is not a legislative body but rather will implement the law. One of the key points is the rules for the local use of software purchased abroad, and the uses of Internet software. Indecopi is concentrating in the corporate segment where it reports a 60% of software piracy, a figure lower than the 98% rate registered in 1993.
