What they argued
See paper attached Executive summary Despite the lack of any clear European law stating that hosting providers have a legal obligation to respond to take down notices from rights owners for live event piracy in less than 30 minutes, successful industry engagement by the audiovisual sector (chiefly led by AAPA and/or its members) has meant that many legitimate hosting providers now do so.
The Audiovisual Anti-Piracy Alliance (AAPA) welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the Commissions consultation on a strategic vision for sport in Europe. AAPA represents broadcasters, rights-holders, and technology providers committed to securing the audiovisual value chain and ensuring the sustainability of the European sport ecosystem.
