Anti-Piracy
Conference
Piracy may be the wrong business, but it’s certainly big business. OTT and pay-TV companies have lost around $9.1bn in revenue due to piracy and account sharing in 2019 alone.
The 2020 edition of the MENA Anti-Piracy Conference will look at the various avatars of piracy and bring media houses, the legal fraternity, technology providers, and regulatory and community stakeholders together to see how they can best collaborate to get ahead of the problem once and for all.
