"Question No. 34 by Ignasi Guardans Cambó ()
Piracy constitutes a clear violation of intellectual property. It has a devastating effect on the financing of the culture industries and, in particular, on the production and distribution of audio and audio-visual works.
In the information society, audio-visual creators generate content for the Internet whilst at the same time searching for new technological media which will enable that content to be disseminated. Although new technologies facilitate the dissemination of culture, they may well prevent creators from being properly remunerated if piracy is not stamped out.
In addition to the action which needs to be taken in the police and judicial sphere, one of the main battles will have to be fought by educating the general public. Ordinary people are not aware of the value of intellectual property in the information society, hence they do not understand why piracy is an offence.
The Commission has an important role to play in educating the general public and raising its awareness (particularly in the case of young people) as regards the threat which piracy poses in the information society. What action is the Commission proposing to take in order to spread this message and help protect Europe's audio-visual industry?"@en1
