Creative industry players lament Senate panel's inaction on proposed bills to block online content piracy

Two proposed legislations that seek to block online content piracy have reportedly remained untouched and unheard at Senator Mark Villar’s trade and industry committee.

Both bills seek to empower the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines into dismantling access to online sites that infringe on copyrights and initiate site blocking. Local celebrities recently called on Villar’s panel to speed up its legislative process on the legislations that would empower the IPO to enable online site blocking.

These celebrities are sounding off for collective efforts in curbing online piracy and ensure that Filipino talents are being acknowledged, protected, and rewarded.
