LYON, France — With reports of digital piracy increasing by more than 60 percent in some countries during the past 12 months, INTERPOL is launching a new project to tackle this fast-growing crime area.
With 2.7 million euro funding from the Korean Ministry of Culture, Sport and Tourism, the five-year INTERPOL Stop Online Piracy (I-SOP) initiative will counter online piracy and crimes involving intellectual property rights infringement, identifying and dismantling linked illicit online marketplaces, as well as targeting the criminal networks and confiscating their assets.
