New administrative procedures to create a legally enforceable environment to fight pay-TV piracy in the Philippines have seen a breakthrough settlement by an infringing cable operator in Camarines Sur province.
The settlement was agreed under rules laid down by the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IP Philippines), resulting in a legally binding agreement by the operator, Turtle Cable Co., to exclusively distribute authorized pay-TV content.
