Argentina helds meeting on audiovisual piracy
The ninth date of the Anti-Piracy & Content Summit Tour 2017 was held on June 7, at the Four Seasons Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Organized by TodoTVMedia and Latin America Anti-Piracy & Intellectual Property Consulting (LAAPIP), the event brought together industry executives, digital piracy experts and representatives from the region's regulatory authorities, focusing on piracy of audiovisual content.

Among the main speakers were executives from top companies like Cablevisión, Fox Networks, HBO and Viacom, and also from elite sports associations such as La Liga, Spain main professional football division. They all agreed in that raising awareness, renewing laws and bringing together the different players in the industry, are key elements in tackling the problem.

"We must make the authorities aware of the scourge of online piracy, but specially make society aware", said Daniel Steinmetz, Chief Anti-Piracy Officer of Fox Networks Group Latin America. "Piracy is illegal, encompassing issues of right of expression, copyrights and privacy. But many times the public does not scale its consequences and therefore does not see it as an illegal industry", said Silvana Giudici, director of Argentinian recently created State telecommunications regulator Enacom (National Entity for Communications).

The Anti-Piracy & Content Summit Tour 2017 will have its 10th date on August 16th in Mexico.
