By FELIPE SENNA and LUÍSA ROMAN
Piracy is a stark worldwide reality, annually generating enormous losses for rightsholders, content distributors and for society in general. The practice not only prevents holders and intermediaries from receiving access to legitimate remuneration for their efforts,
it reduces employment and results in the loss of tax revenues. The profits from copyright infringement serve to fund organized crime, and online piracy can undermine the security of the network itself.
As online piracy continues to grow, FELIPE SENNA and LUÍSA ROMAN show how site-blocking contributes to a better environment for content and telecommunications industries alike.
