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.
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.

Your battle is as big as everyone else's battle. Your % of pirated content compared to the next guys is the same, it is exactly the same - big or small. The arm of the law is very long in these situations, it can even reach across the borders, with ease. And if you fight correctly - it will end up costing you - nothing!
The first piracy round table was put on by a bunch of people who had never done anything about piracy.
Plenty of secrets left to learn and it's naive to think even 1% of the pirates know about this event, let alone get educated from it, even if one shows up. The reasons not to broadcast it, without question out weight those that do.
