@feelmyring, Since this is a manager of "Intellectual Property Crime Unit", he might talk to promote the need of such department for any publisher.
There might not be rampant piracy in the US, since the punishment is quite severe, but there are lot of it in other country, especially one where the punishment for piracy is not severe enough to act as deterrent. It is considered "stupid" for people to spend money to buy original game, as opposed to "pirated one".
I think John, as employee of ELSPA, is more concerned with Europe market, and he might be thinking about Spain or any other country in Europe where it is common to pirate things.
