‘Session 1: The Piracy Landscape from an Industry Perspective’ 

‘Session 3: Public–Private Partnerships: Working Together for Effective Enforcement’ 

During the discussions, panelists exchanged views on a wide range of issues related to online copyright infringement and digital piracy, including:

●  Defining copyright infringement in the era of streaming services, social media, and artificial intelligence;

● Types of piracy that cause the greatest economic, cultural, and consumer harm; 

● Enforcement measures proven effective in reducing piracy;

● The importance of international and cross-border cooperation in combating piracy, along with related case studies;

● The most pressing challenges facing digital copyright enforcement; 

● Best practices for public-private partnerships and strategies for building trust among stakeholders.

Mr. Itae Choi, Executive Director of COA, emphasized the growing need for stronger international cooperation to address online copyright infringement, which increasingly operates across national borders. He highlighted Spain’s “TumangaOnline (TMO)” case and Brazil’s “Operation 404” initiative as successful examples of effective public-private collaboration in copyright enforcement. He further stressed that close cooperation among governments, industry stakeholders, enforcement agencies, and rights holders is essential to protecting creative content and fostering a healthy digital content ecosystem. The event provided a valuable platform for participants from government, industry, and enforcement sectors to share experiences and explore practical approaches to strengthening global copyright protection efforts in the digital age.
