Content
Enforcement Program, SIPA has joined forces with the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) to
provide its members with the content enforcement program. For close to 20 years, SIIA has conducted a very successful
corporate anti-piracy program for its software company members. Now, piracy of published content such as newspaper articles,
magazine articles, newsletters, newswire services and financial reports is growing. While new tools for tracking and
combating such piracy are becoming available, the problem is still significant. Thus, SIIA created this "corporate
anti-piracy program" for content companies, modeled after our program for software. The goal is to pursue and remedy
the illegal use of published content - whether in print form or electronically - within corporations. (A separate SIIA
program addresses public Internet infringement such as pirate websites and auctions).
