Hundreds of sites have either been shut down or disrupted in the last five years, and new casualties are recorded every month, mostly every week. It\u2019s no surprise that other industry players are taking notes and coming up with their own plans.<\/p>\n

New Coalition Sees Benefits of Teamwork<\/h2>\n

Centered around South America-based non-profit organization CERTAL<\/a> (Center for Studies for the Development of Telecommunications and Access to the Information Society of Latin America), the Global Anti-Piracy Pact (Pacto Global Antipirater\u00eda<\/em>) was officially formed this month.<\/p>\n

Around 20 entities, including companies from the video and telecoms sector, plus regulators and government representatives, began promoting<\/a> the initiative in November. A tour of South America was followed by a summit and a signing ceremony this month at the Organization of American States (OAS<\/a>) in Washington DC.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"Global<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

\u201cThe objective of this pact is to demonstrate that isolated actions of the owners or of the participants in the distribution chain of intellectual works are not enough, but that joint and coordinated efforts between private parties and public-private articulation are required,\u201d CERTAL explained<\/a> late last week.<\/p>\n

Public\/Private Partnership<\/h2>\n

How the coalition will function day-to-day is currently unclear, but its mission statement covers familiar anti-piracy tactics.<\/p>\n

The pact foresees companies in the IP\/telecoms sector working with governments (including Uruguay, Venezuela, Colombia, and Argentina) to raise awareness of piracy and inform the public of its effects on content production, distribution, and beyond. Global Anti-Piracy Pact will also propose\/establish new standards and best practices to protect the legal market from unlawful competition.<\/p>\n

A key focus for CERTAL is the fight against IPTV piracy, audiovisual content in general, and live sporting events, so tackling illicit providers will be a key aim of the coalition. <\/p>\n

ISP Blocking Measures<\/h2>\n

Several countries in South America already block pirate sites, but the coalition is expecting much more than that. All governments working with the coalition are required to put administrative blocking procedures in place, i.e only those that require limited judicial involvement.<\/p>\n

Countries that don\u2019t already have administrative blocking must incorporate the issue into their 2023 legislative agendas. Meeting that standard on paper may not be impossible but implementing rapid blocking, especially to cover live events, requires careful preparation. Fortunately, ISP signatories are prepared to make everything as straightforward as possible.<\/p>\n

Governments must \u201cguarantee an expedited path through specialized entities to order the blocking of Internet service providers in their respective countries. (ISPs) of retransmissions of illegal content over the Internet, whether on demand or live,\u201d the mission statement reads.<\/p>\n

For their part, teleco signatory companies will \u201cactively promote and cooperate with respect to the implementation of the aforementioned blocking mechanisms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other Anti-Piracy Measures<\/h2>\n

The parties acknowledge that the illegal offer of content has as its ultimate purpose the generation of illegitimate economic income for those who carry out such criminal activity, and there are no altruistic purposes. <\/em><\/p>\n

This extract from the agreement is followed by three common monetization methods \u2013 advertising, subscription payments, and the sale of preconfigured hardware devices. Signatories will be expected to establish \u201ceffective mechanisms\u201d to demonetize online pirate services in respect of the above and \u201cany other that may arise in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The agreement further notes that content watermarking and similar systems are underutilized in South America, meaning that tracking pirated content back to the source can be more difficult. <\/p>\n

As a result, all rightsholders and distributor signatories must implement this type of technology and actively demand implementation by others in the chain. These solutions should be \u201cmandatory\u201d and should be considered a \u201cbasic necessary standard\u201d to operate in the market.<\/p>\n

CERTAL says that \u201ccriminal organizations\u201d are behind today\u2019s piracy platforms. They are \u201cextremely dynamic, constantly evolving\u201d so can adapt almost immediately to technological changes.<\/p>\n
