Piracy is – and has always been – a game of cat and mouse.
Companies come up with new and, theoretically, more secure ways of protecting their intellectual property, such as digital rights management (DRM), games that always have to be online to verify they are legitimate or anti-tamper software like Denuvo. These might work for a bit, but then bad actors find ways around these measures, game firms have to come up with new forms of security, and the cycle begins anew.
UK video games trade body UKIE is one of the forces trying to fight piracy, both for its members (for free) and non-members (for a fee). The organisation is taking on both ‘regular’ piracy, but also non-traditional forms of piracy.
