What are the challenges in combating piracy in the digital research industry?

One of the challenges in combating piracy within the digital research industry, especially in academic journal sharing, is enforcing copyright laws internationally. This can be complex due to different regulations in different countries and the difficulty in monitoring and enforcing violations across various platforms. Additionally, the rapid advancement of technology makes it easier for individuals to share copyrighted material quickly and anonymously, posing a challenge for authorities and content creators to control and protect their work effectively. Furthermore, the accessibility and ease of sharing digital content online make it harder to track and prevent unauthorized distribution, leading to potential revenue loss for publishers and creators.
