CASBAA Urges Improvement of HK Copyright Legislation

In a submission to Hong Kong’s Legislative Council, CASBAA repeated its concern that the current Copyright Amendments bill, the product of six years of discussion to update Hong Kong’s legislation for the digital era, “will not in itself do much to deter further rapid growth in online piracy of television content.” CASBAA urged the SAR authorities to add to the legislation provisions to encourage ISPs to adopt policies to assist with consumer education, and deter abuse of the internet by serial infringers.
