Earlier this month, the European Commission published a detailed report specifying a multitude of websites that go against intellectual property laws. Many of these websites are well known, and in addition, we can also find Pages that promote counterfeit products.
The report, which you can access through this link, is usually carried out every year, also detailing those websites that have already been mentioned on previous occasions, and explaining the solutions that have been presented to meet the needs of the organization.
A list of sites with fake and copyright-free content
According to a study by EUIPO (European Union Intellectual Property Office), the international trade in counterfeits and products that violate copyright amounts to a value greater than 464,000 million dollars, which represents, according to the report, 2.5% of total trade.
Transferring these figures to Europe, the study mentions that 5.8% of all third-party imports are counterfeit or copyright-free goodswhich means content worth more than 119,000 million euros.
The idea behind the publication of this report is to encourage online services and businesses to take appropriate measures to get rid of this type of product. In addition to counterfeits, Illegal downloading would also enter this content movies, music, video games, and other audiovisual products.
Among the examples of web pages that appear in the list we find some such as ‘The Pirate Bay’, ‘Rarbg’, ‘Popcorn Time’, ‘Rutracker’, ‘Music Bazaar’ and more. Although those mentioned specialize in file transfer via P2P, we also find online stores, IPTV applications such as ‘IPTV Smarters’hosting providers, and more.
The report specifies those websites that directly infringe copyright laws, and those that, although they do not directly, have products or content that do.
According to the European Commission, the conclusions drawn from the list of sites refer to the state of the websites in a period between December 15, 2021 and February 14, 2022.
Copyright law must change, or at least that is what the DCMA expresses in reference to the existing legislation in the United States. And it is that after almost 25 years, there are still cases in which this law has not yet been able to adapt correctly.
