Check out all events Presented by “Motion Picture Association.”

Digital piracy can have devastating effects on film and TV creators, and it exposes unwitting consumers’ personal data to organized crime rings. This panel will dive deep into how illegal piracy operations build their businesses, how they affect creators’ copyright and intellectual property, what rights creators have in protecting their content, and how the MPA and ACE work to detect, deter and dismantle piracy rings.
