Warsaw Declaration: International cooperation key to fighting piracy

November 14, 2018 03.34 Europe/London By Chris Dziadul

Thirty-four international and local organisations, institutions and companies have declared their willingness to cooperate in an effort to combat internet piracy in response to the globalisation of cybercrime.

The announcement of mutual support, as well as experience sharing, forms the core of the Warsaw Declaration, which came to fruition during the International Content Protection Summit, which as previously reported by Broadband TV News was held last month in the Polish capital.

The participants of the event discussed characteristics and the scale of piracy in individual countries as well as the current measures aimed at preventing cybercrime. They shared experiences, discussed examples of international actions as well as legal and operational aspects of activities, including the cooperation with the advertising market and payment providers in order to limit the illicit trade of video content by means of blocking illegal websites as well as educational activities and undertakings aimed at raising awareness about intellectual property infringement.

The biggest current challenges of the creative market, related to piracy, are the increasing global reach of cybercrime, new technologies used for illegal distribution of content (for example, IPTV), the use of cryptocurrencies as a new payment method as well as the consequences of the lack of a uniform European law and incomplete implementation of individual directives in certain countries.

“Piracy is currently a highly profitable undertaking with a complicated network of relations. There is proof of its connections to other types of crime. The alarming figures concerning the scale of theft and illegal trade of audiovisual content are a motivating factor to take action. Holding the first international meeting on combating piracy in our region was aimed at underlining the value of experience sharing and the necessity of cooperation between organisations, institutions and governmental bodies as well as businesses from various countries,” said Teresa Wierzbowska, the president of the Board of the Sygna? Association.

The 120 participants of the ICPS were representatives of organisations, institutions and companies from all around Europe as well as from other continents.

The conference was organised by the Sygna? Association with the support of the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage (MKIDN), the Office of Electronic Communications (UKE), the Polish Chamber of Commerce for Electronics and Telecommunications (KIGEiT) and the Polish Confederation Lewiatan, with the media partnership of Business Insider, Discovery, TVN, Dziennik Gazeta Prawna, Polsat, Press, Rzeczpospolita and TVP.
