ifpi is private lobbying organization. that “watch list”, from what i have gathered, is basically public shaming, it has no enforceable legal status whatsoever.
wouldnt doubt it… I seem to remember reading awhile back that there had been multiple occurrences of the department of homeland security being involved against piracy of digital media bc it was a trade export or some shit… (i think it was back when I had been reading about kim dotcom or maybe one of the popular public tracker site owners who was outside the us and got caught? idk… been awhile)
IMO, companies “losing” profit due to piracy has absolute fuckall to do with national security so its more like rich people leveraging their paid congress-pets to come down hard on anything that stands against their greed.
