China’s latest digital headache for American companies: “Export only” piracy

Digital Pirates in China has become more sophisticated and prevented their services locally to avoid local law enforcement, and copyrights in the United States would like to speak to the director.

The International Intellectual Property Alliance (IIPA), which represents many American entertainment industries from Hollywood to games, calls on China to make more effort to stop these operations, which was called “Export Pirate only”.

IIPA called the practice and called the perpetrators of the prominent perpetrators in a surrender Last week for the American Trade Representative. Submission was part of the annual review of the trade representative of China’s commitment to the WTO obligations (WTO). Torrentfric reports.

“While the large piracy in the local market in China is still a permanent challenge, exporting pirated content, piracy and piracy devices (PDS) from China to foreign markets is an increased and worrying global trend,” reads.

The report highlights many of the worst criminals, including the Internet TV platform and the source of Flujotv (Previous), Which targets Latin America; Loklok, which serves Southeast Asia; GIMY, popular in Taiwan.

IIPA emphasizes how to change the pirates and search for new gaps to exploit them. Another example of the group is to reformulate video games.

“Instead of traditional methods that include technical cracking for game programs for full duplication and distribution, the game piracy in China is increasingly characterized by reformulating the original games with non -built reviews,” the report says. He added that the changes may be simple, such as making slight adjustments to the gaming source icon.

In addition, IIPA comments draw a picture of copyright enforcement in China as slow, inconsistent and bureaucratic. For example, even after the initial penalties against violators, rights holders often have to submit new complaints to repeated crimes. E -commerce platforms usually have to delete specific elements only, instead of closing the entire stores. The fully loved geographical services can work under the radar.

“This allows China -based operations to evade enforcement measures by preventing its geographical services from accessing China or serving a different set of content for users who reach these services from inside China,” IIPA books.

The group now calls for specific reforms to address this issue, including more resources and the best coordination of the National Publishing Rights Administration in China (NCAC), simpler complaint procedures, and more clear rules for content platforms downloaded by the user.

They also want China to implement its laws against all piracy operations that operate from the country, even if the services are not available locally, and to improve cross -border cooperation so that geological piracy does not slip.
