Anti-Piracy Enforcement Actions
Anti-piracy enforcement actions in the music industry refer to the measures taken to combat the unauthorized copying and distribution of copyrighted musical works. These actions aim to protect the intellectual property rights of artists and record labels, ensuring they are compensated for their creations. Historically, this has evolved from addressing physical piracy to tackling digital forms, such as illegal downloads and streaming, through legislation like the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)¹ and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA)². These efforts often involve legal proceedings, technological safeguards, and public awareness campaigns to deter infringement.
