Why should I report piracy and counterfeits?

Counterfeiting and piracy deprives authors and those involved in the publication of copyrighted material from being fairly compensated. Additionally, counterfeiting and piracy results in millions of dollars lost in potential sales. In fact – it actually contributes to the rise in textbook prices due to higher production costs.
