Nhiều vụ bị khởi tố, vì sao hành vi ăn cắp bản quyền ở Việt Nam diễn ra tràn lan?

Lawyer Truong Ngoc Lieu shared insights into the current state of copyright infringement in Vietnam, analyzing the reasons why copyright and related rights infringements remain widespread despite numerous penalties. According to the lawyer, besides the persistent "free use" mentality in society, the lack of adequate attention to protecting intellectual property rights and difficulties in handling violations are also contributing factors to this situation. At the same time, recent prosecutions are seen as a strong signal that authorities are becoming more decisive in protecting intellectual property rights in Vietnam.
