Piracy and Digital Rights Management: 10 Ways to Combat Online Piracy
6. Develop A Working Relationship With Government Agencies And Intermediaries
Even the most aggressive copyright owners need help enforcing their rights. Because pirates are continuously devising new ways to engage in piracy and to avoid detection, it is exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, for publishers to combat this piracy alone. The best way to effectively address online piracy problems is through the cooperation of multiple stakeholders, including the Federal, state and local government agencies that are responsible for enforcement. It is likewise important to have contacts at the various payment processors (e.g., PayPal, Visa), ecommerce sites (e.g., Amazon, eBay, Craigslist), search engines and other intermediaries who can help you combat the piracy when their services are involved. This is especially true when piracy is taking place abroad in countries where civil and criminal actions are likely to be ineffective.
