“Rampant online piracy is a lingering problem, posing a danger to the viability of businesses and the livelihood of content creators, and also exposing users to malware and other online threats,” Globe Chief Information Security Officer Anton Reynaldo M. Bonifacio said in a press release on Monday.
“As a member of AVIA’s Coalition Against Piracy , Globe supported the organization’s recent Digital Piracy Summit, which highlighted the need to revise the country’s Intellectual Property Code through proposed House Bill No. 0799,” Globe said. “Proposed amendments will empower regulators with ‘permanent blocking orders, takedown orders, cease-and-desist or disable access orders’ against offenders,” Globe said.
