Uk Govt. Backing Anti-Piracy Campaign To Fight Piracy
If we go back four years ago, the copyright industrial groups and ISP’s teamed up to fight piracy in the United Kingdom.
Having the support of the government, they have launched different educational campaigns which spread awareness among the youths.
Now, under the program, “Get it Right”, ISPs have sent out different warnings to plenty of subscribers who share copyright infringement content.
This was stated the very last and the same is ongoing at a much greater pace.
However, till now, there hasn’t been many official updates and a series of alerts are going in the United Kingdom. It even appears as if the UK Government are much happy with the amount of progress they have made so far.
The very last week, UK Government said that they will be funding the “Get it right” campaign with a whopping £2 million. This will be a great boost for the UK’s creative industries as well as for the other entertainment industries.
