"THE INTERNATIONAL Chamber of Commerce 'Business Action to Stop
Counterfeiting And Piracy' committee has been accused by another
anti-piracy group of nicking its data.

According to Boing Boing, anti-piracy tracking service Gieschen Consultancy
is complaining that the Chamber has stolen its information and reformatted
it under the ICC's own brandname.

Gieschen says that the ICC and BASCAP misrepresented itself as a partner in
2006 and 2007. It then gained access to proprietary information and then
took what they learned and incorporated it into their own product
offerings.

It claims that the anti-piracy group's functionality, user interface,
presentation, method of classification, and delivery is clearly based on
Gieschen designs and existing products.

A spokesGieschen said that it was "extraordinary" that an
organisation committed to fighting counterfeiting and piracy would steal
the intellectual property of another organisation."
