Abstract

The article presents information on international counterpiracy campaigns to prevent illegal film and music downloads from the Internet. Topics include a lawsuit by the independent film studio Voltage Pictures against anonymous Canadians accused of illegally distributing films online; the process known as "speculative invoicing" which aims to decrease the theft of copyrighted entertainment by suing unidentified defendants; and settlement payments to entertainment companies.
