Abstract
The project analyzed policing and enforcement measures, media coverage, and the legal framework and institutional field of combat against digital and media piracy; how it is done and by whom, in order to evaluate pros and cons of current laws; who is benefiting, and from what measures and approaches. The results have been positive for public debate and policy recommendations, and for creating an innovative approach to the problem of copyright violations and piracy. Brazilian approaches to intellectual property were originally shaped by import substitution strategies designed to foster the growth of local industry. With detailed appendices in Spanish.
