Content everywhere is becoming a reality in European and worldwide media markets. The ubiquity of digital content distribution bears fascinating opportunities for the industry – while piracy must still be seen as the No.1 obstacle in successfully building new businesses or completing existing ones.

During its 3rd Annual European Anti-Piracy Symposium, AEPOC will present an overview of salient achievements and actions against piracy of audio-visual services – and discuss new challenges especially in regards to opportunities and threats from Internet-based businesses such as IPTV. On Tuesday, 22nd November AEPOC President Jean Grenier welcomes Vice President Luc Perrault of North-American partner association CASST (Coalition Against Satellite Signal Theft) and Raymond Leinster Director General of UK’s FACT (Federation Against Copyright Theft). Speakers and panellists will further include AEPOC members from all sectors of the digital value chain. The agenda will be completed by specialist guest speakers giving valuable insight into the European scenarios.

The Symposium will be moderated by Jeremy Thompson, anchor presenter of Sky News, and Nick Snow, Chief Editor of Euromedia, discussing with AEPOC members and other key personalities. The free of charge conference is targeted at professionals and press from the media industries and shall provide an in-depth discussion forum for stakeholders from both the broadcasting and telecommunication sector in order to recognize the right steps against arising new forms of audio-visual piracy.
