The International Intellectual Property Alliance has released its 2007 Special 301 Report relating to the requirement that the United States Trade Representative identify countries which “deny adequate and effective protection” to U.S. intellectual property or deny “fair and equitable market access” to U.S. persons who rely on intellectual property protection.

The bottom line estimate: "As a result of deficiencies in the copyright regimes of the 60 countries/territories highlighted in this submission, the U.S. copyright–based industries suffered estimated trade losses due to piracy in these 60 countries/territories of over $15.2 billion in 2006."
