About
Online criminals target the publishing industry in a number of ways. The spectrum of offences ranges from websites offering infringing copies of works to download, through peer-to-peer sharing of infringing copies, to the commercial sale of counterfeit copies of publications.
The Publishers Association has growing expertise in tackling each type of threat in an appropriate and effective manner. The PA’s Copyright Infringement Portal targets websites offering infringing copies for free download and peer-to-peer sharing via torrents.
