"The U.S. office that deals with the protection of intellectual property has published its annual report on piracy. Italy is not among the priorities, but still at risk. "




'USTR (ie Office of the United States Trade Representative) has published a report on 301hacking among the various nations in the world, with particular reference to the online world. The office is responsible for the protection of American intellectual property in the various nations of the world. According to the report this year, Russia remains the country with the highest level of content piracy videogame.

The report identifies some outbreaks are particularly at risk, which is the continuous deterioration of the intellectuals, the continued growth of piracy in Ukraine, the growing problem of misappropriation of trade secrets that occurs in China, as well as the continuing challenges that remain in nations important as Brazil, Italy and Russia.

Our country is not in the priority list, which instead Ukraine occupies the first position. However,we are in the list of nations kept under observation, which instead belong to quite a few other European countries (specifically Belarus, Bulgaria, Finland, Greece and Romania).
In 2013, Italy remains on the Watch List," we read in the report . "Internet piracy remains a very important phenomenon in Italy, given that several producers report that Italy has one of the tasssi of online piracy highest in the world. Whilst the Authority for the Communications Authority (AGCOM) has made clear progress in 2011 and in the early part of 2012 in the draft regulation of the industry, from that moment on there was a stalemate. Consequently, holders of rights face serious challenges in the fight against Internet piracy in Italy. The United States emphasize the importance of taking steps to finalize and implement the standards imposed by AGCOM in order to create an effective mechanism against all kinds of Internet piracy.

"The United States also continue to be concerned about the reports of the Guarantor for the protection of personal data on the Italian network monitoring peer-to-peer networks. Encourage to take further measures to significantly reduce delays in the filing of rulings on intellectual property in the Italian courts and to ensure that cases reach their final sentence.

The USTR is hoped a lasting collaboration between Italian and American institutions in their effort to combat online piracy through the circuits. It also expects the cooperation of the parliamentary committees of inquiry, given that their contribution could represent an important opportunity to affirm the importance of a strong intellectual property protection in Italy.
301 The report, therefore, a picture of a situation that for 2013 does not promise to be very different compared to previous years except for the slight decline we have seen in the previous paragraphs, which may depend on the economic downturn that crosses our country and the consequent reduction in purchasing power.

We know, unfortunately, that piracy in Italy mainly affects the world of PC gaming, which has led to a progressive lack of interest from foreign producers videogame in the marketing and promotion of PC gaming in Italy.
