Couverture veille internationale en anglais

For over 3 years, Hadopi has been publishing an international monitoring report in its annual report on the various schemes in place abroad to fight piracy and counterfeiting. Given the scope of the information gathered and the developments observed, this year's report is the subject of a dedicated publication. Anda version translated into English.

Conducted by Hadopi's Office of Legal Affairs, the watch focused on 18 countries, chosen for the originality, exemplarity and effectiveness of the measures adopted to fight piracy and counterfeiting.

Each country is the subject of a dedicated fact sheet, setting out the various schemes in place, depending on whether they target Internet users or those involved in commercial counterfeiting.

In the case of schemes aimed at Internet users, public policies and stakeholders combine actions to promote legal supply and communication to the general public with more targeted schemes. The latter can take the form of demands for compensation from Internet users, or warnings with or without legal sanctions.

At the same time, and in view of the multi-faceted development of commercial counterfeiting on an international scale, we are witnessing a diversification of enforcement strategies. At the same time as civil and criminal proceedings are being taken directly against illegal websites, new initiatives are being launched to mobilize as many industry stakeholders as possible to reduce the profits and visibility of massively infringing websites.

METHODOLOGY:
The information in this study is drawn from freely accessible documents (press articles, legal texts, reports with figures, public positions, legal analyses, case law, etc.) and documents forwarded by the Institution's network of contacts (mixing public, institutional and private players and in some cases with the support of French embassies). This information was verified and supplemented, wherever possible, by nearly thirty interviews with qualified local contacts, conducted during trips abroad or by telephone.
