“Infringements of Copyright and other Intellectual Property Rights present critical problem in our society. Direct financial losses are notable – legitimate Pay-TV providers face EUR 3.21 billion losses in revenue in the European market due to criminal networks facilitating access to unauthorized IPTV content. These are direct losses we can quantify. Unfortunately, total losses extend beyond monetary damages – authors being paid less, constraints in quality content being produced, and limited creative incentives are among the harmful results caused by copyright-theft.”
