Anti-Piracy Groups Pressure EU To Prevent Pirate Sites Operating Anonymously * TorrentFreak

>
Dozens of major anti-piracy groups and other interested parties are pressuring the European Commission to enhance "know your business customer" checks as part of the planned Digital Services Act. The stakeholders want to ensure that pirate sites can't disappear from one host only to seamlessly reappear at another but believe current plans are too limited.
One of the major problems faced by anti-piracy companies and their entertainment industry partners is that of anonymity.
A key element of enforcement action is to be able to identify individuals and entities responsible for infringing activity but currently that can prove to be a problem. In many instances, domain companies, hosts and other providers that enable pirate sites to stay online do no conduct due diligence when platforms sign up for service. As a result, putting real-world names to their operators is problematic.
