We feel honored to have been invited to participate in the conference “Stepping Up the Fight Against Online Piracy of Sports and other Live Events” organized by the European Commission and the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) on October 9-10 in Alicante. The association was represented at the conference by Sygnal President Teresa Wierzbowska.
It was an opportunity to outline the characteristics of the Polish market, describe the unique market and self-regulatory projects we have been implementing for years, and take a close look at how the other European countries are effectively dealing with TV broadcast piracy.
More and more European countries are introducing mechanisms to effectively block illegal broadcasts and premium content offered without authorization. We are full of hope that in Poland, in cooperation with key stakeholders, i.e. public administration, rights owners and intermediaries, we will develop a solution that, like our self-regulatory projects, can set an example for other member countries.
