Criminele organisatie
Is in Nederland een inbreukmaker wel eens veroordeeld voor lidmaatschap van een criminele organisatie? "Today the European Commission adopted proposals for a directive and for a framework decision to combat infringements of intellectual property rights. The purpose of the proposed measures is to align national criminal law and improve European cooperation so as to deal effectively with counterfeiting and piracy activities, which are often carried out by criminal organisations. Counterfeiting and piracy, and infringements of intellectual property in general, have increased significantly in recent years and seriously undermine several sectors of the European economy."
