Globe supports tougher laws vs online content piracy
As an internet service provider (ISP) and content creator itself, Globe believes that a law that ensures a cohesive and solid stand against the problem needs to be enacted.
One serious problem is piracy. Speaking at the “Philippines in View” webinar conducted by the Asia Video Industry Association (AVIA), Globe Chief Sustainability Officer and SVP for Corporate Communications Yoly Crisanto said: “The impact of piracy, not just to the economy but also to the lives and jobs of the people in this industry, is really huge. We see younger customers being more conscientious in avoiding illegal content but that’s not going to end it. We still need an enabling law.”
In the absence of a law, Globe and other ISPs decided to work with government agencies, particularly the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) and the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) in crafting an appropriate site-blocking mechanism that will put more teeth in the fight against cyber pirates.
Globe introduced the #PlayItRight campaign in 2017 to motivate customers to exercise personal responsibility in their digital content consumption.
