I would like to add, with the point on where you are going with this.
As a company with now exclusive trade rights, and only deliverable components with contract exclusive purchasers. I would triple the prices in cost to increase my profit margins and to cover the security. Every other company would file suit.
You would see an increase in expense and deliveries would be more securely guarded to ensure contract deliveries, in turn this would make it harder for pirates to make a living to not at all.
