'Piracy puts cultural industries in jeopardy. UNESCO therefore aims to contribute to the fight against piracy in order to curtail its damaging consequences on the creation and dissemination of cultural goods and services. Its activities in this area are developed largely through innovative public/private partnerships, within the framework of the UNESCO Global Alliance for Cultural Diversity whose main objective is to foster the development of sustainable cultural industries through capacity-building, policy advice, development of infrastructure and piracy prevention.'
