CASBAA

Anti-Piracy

CASBAA is a firm supporter of intellectual property rights, and for good reason – the pay-TV industry in Asia loses more than a billion US dollars annually to unauthorized connections of various types to our member companies’ networks.

CASBAA monitors developments in the region and maintains a twin dialogue with governments and with industry. We believe that anti-piracy efforts depend crucially on three elements:

• Technology - to provide strong safeguards against unauthorized access.
• Law - to provide updated, meaningful penalties to deter infringement of copyright and of broadcasting control laws.
• Enforcement - to ensure that laws are carried out and that a vicious circle of piracy does not undermine the industry’s contribution to Asian development.
