The Race Against Piracy: A Global Challenge

Piracy has always evolved faster than the systems designed to stop it, but unconstrained by regulation and increasingly powered by the same technologies reshaping the industry itself, it is now accelerating at an unprecedented pace. For organizations across the value chain, effective action at scale is no longer simply a matter of efficiency — it is essential to protecting the foundations on which the industry depends. This session will identify the legal, technological and operational tools needed for a more coordinated global response — from intelligence-sharing and rapid cross-border enforcement to the responsibilities of online service providers, intermediaries, payment services and advertising networks.
