"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."
