RIAA Responds To Notorious Markets Report

Notorious Markets Report Out Now

The Office of the UNITED STATES TRADE REPRESENTATIVE (USTR) has released its annual NOTORIOUS MARKETS REPORT, which stresses the importance of copyright enforcement in the context of emerging troubling trends in online piracy.  This annual report enumerates websites that engage in piracy identified by RIAA and other creative community organizations. 

It makes clear that the U.S. government stands with American creative professionals against those that would rob them of their livelihoods and cultural and economic contributions.

RIAA Chairman and CEO MITCH GLAZIER responded to this year's report, “This year's NOTORIOUS MARKETS REPORT shines a much-needed spotlight on the devastating impact of copyright theft on American creators. The core message of today's report is clear: when creative content is stolen, it not only harms the economy and businesses, it hurts real people. Copyright enforcement is necessary to protect livelihoods."

He added, “We thank Ambassador TAI, her team at USTR, and the interagency officials for their work to guard AMERICA's intellectual property. We look forward to continuing our work together to foster a global environment where American creativity can thrive.”
