Most people don't want to deal with that. And if they are not in a jurisdiction you can sue them in, what's the point? The only thing worse than a lawsuit within the country both parties are in, is a lawsuit across international borders. Easier just to lock my content down and police what slips through the cracks. I'm a small site owner in niche markets, so the battle is not as big for me as it is others. It is manageable. Frustrating at times, but manageable.

Why would they make it public? Why in the world would you want to teach the pirates the secrets of how they get found, how and what it takes to sue them, and all that crap? Truly think about what you would be showing them - it would be pure crazy to make this information public.

I'm not knocking the retreat, and if I'm ever on that side of the world while one is happening, I will come. And as a FYI, I flew from Thailand to LA just for the very first piracy round table meeting. Unfortunately, that went nowhere. And yea, that is a long flight.
In regards to why should it be public... the pirates and thieves and enemies to this business are among us already. They were at the retreat or already got the info from someone who was. There are no secrets left to hide. There is nothing to teach them. They were there taking notes and asking questions. It is naive for any of us to think otherwise.
