Online platforms — distribution hubs (“cyber lockers”), auction sites, P2P technologies, apps, ecommerce platforms or marketplaces, social media platforms, and other online services that facilitate access to unauthorized copies of books and journal articles — make available, without the permission of or compensation to publishers, unauthorized, infringing copies of trade, professional books, textbooks, as well as journal articles. A number of enforcement remedies exist across various jurisdictions, with varying degrees of effectiveness. The panel will examine existing remedies and frameworks, identify those rendered ineffective given the nature and scope of today’s online piracy, and look to the remedies that have proven effective.
