  • DVD Piracy As Alternative Media: the Scandal of Piracy, and the Piracy of “Scandal” in the Philippines, 2005–2009
    MARIA F. MANGAHAS 109 Kasarinlan: Philippine Journal of Third World Studies 2014 29 (1): 109–139 DVD Piracy as Alternative Media: The Scandal of Piracy, and the Piracy of “Scandal” in the Philippines, 2005–2009 MARIA F. MANGAHAS ABSTRACT. Some digital materials which are documentary of specific forms of social transgression comprise an apparent “market niche” for piracy. “Scandals” as unique commodities in the Philippines’s informal market for pirated disks are quite distinct from other digital entertainment, being originally candid/unstaged or “stolen”/taken without their subject’s knowledge and usually made to non-professional standards/ equipment. Enterprisingly put on the market by pirate-entrepreneurs because of apparent consumer-audience interest in the content, such unique “reality” goods became conveniently available through networks of digital piracy outlets. In the context of consumption of pirated goods, the article reads “scandals” as expressive of everyday critique and resistance. The niche market for “scandals” functions as alternative media as these digital goods inherently evade government and (formal) corporate control as sources of news and entertainment. Indicators of the significance of “scandal” in the informal economy and the meaningful convergence between its piracy and consumer- audience demand are examined ethnographically: their translation into commodities through packaging, the range of sites for consumers to access “scandals,” pirate- entrepreneurs’ sales strategies and standards, and how the market behavior of these “scandals” apparently responded to the unfolding of the social scandals in real time as current events—events that themselves were influenced by the popular circulation and piracy of these commodities. Three cases that took place between 2005–2009—“Hello Garci,” the “Kat/Kho sex scandals,” and the “Maguindanao massacre” DVD—serve as diverse examples, each with their own issues of authenticity, morality, and social effects consequent to piracy and consumption.

Serzo PHILIPPINE INSTITUTE FOR DEVELOPMENT STUDIES December 2020 Abstract This Paper identifies certain policy issues in the existing regulatory infrastructure of the Philippines which may prevent digital platforms in the Philippines from innovating and participating in the global digital economy. In brief, these policy issues relate to the incoherence between the national innovation strategy of the government and the mishmash of regulations that digital platforms are subjected to. In particular, this relates to investment regulations, regulations on mass media, retail, advertising, logistics, telecommunications, and education. Such landscape has led to a regulatory environment that is unable to provide certainty as to the legality of the activities of Philippine- based digital platforms.

That growth continued into the first quarter of 2013, with a 7.8 percent year-on-year increase. The growth rate is projected to stay at about six percent or higher in 2013. • Government and consumer spending fueled the growth. On the production side, the service sector drove the acceleration, with the industrial sector (primarily construction and electricity/gas/water supply) also contributing to growth. Remittances by Overseas Foreign Workers (OFW) continue to be a major economic force in the country’s economy. GDP-per-capita has risen to about $2,600. • The national government’s fiscal deficit ended 2012 at 2.3 percent of GDP, below the programmed 2.6 percent-to-GDP ratio but up from two percent in 2011.

  • Camcording and Film Piracy in Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Economies
    CAMCORDING AND FILM PIRACY IN ASIA-PACIFIC ECONOMIC COOPERATION ECONOMIES Jason D. Koch Project Leader, International Intellectual Property Institute and Mike D. Smith Rahul Telang Consultants, International Intellectual Property Institute Carnegie Mellon University August 2011 Abstract The unauthorized recording of movies in cinema theaters is known as “camcording.” Typically camcord copies are distributed via Internet file-sharing and through the sale of unlicensed optical discs. Prior studies have not shown a correlation between the date of camcord availability and theater revenue. This report investigates whether such a correlation exists through a statistical analysis of proprietary and publically available data on movie release dates and the corresponding date of availability for the first known camcord. The data suggests that for each day that camcording is delayed during the opening weekend, box office revenue in the United States increases by as much as 3 percent. In addition, this report includes a set of case studies based on in-person interviews in order to further explore the impact camcording has on the film industry in select Asia- Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) economies. These case studies suggest that camcording is negatively impacting these industries. This report concludes with a list of effective practices, based on these case studies, to assist governments in their efforts to combat camcording. ABOUT THE AUTHORS JASON D. KOCH is an attorney at the International Intellectual Property Institute (IIPI) where he manages projects and authors the organization’s amicus curiae briefs. A member of several bar organizations, Jason studied intellectual property, international law, economics, and public policy at universities in the United States, England, and the Netherlands.

  • IIPA 2005 Special 301 Philippines
    INTERNATIONAL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ALLIANCE 2005 SPECIAL 301 REPORT PHILIPPINES EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Special 301 Recommendation: The Philippines should remain on the Priority Watch List, but an out-of-cycle review should be conducted in 2005 to evaluate whether the actions listed below have been taken and, if so, consideration should be given to moving the Philippines to the Watch List. Recent actions taken by the Philippines with regard to piracy in some sectors, including the issuance of the Implementing Rules and Regulations for the Optical Media Act, are recognized as potentially important steps for improving copyright protection in the Philippines. Implementation of these IRRs in practice is vital, with adequate resources devoted by the government of the Philippines to eradicate optical disc piracy. Positive actions in the coming months can be considered favorably in the out-of-cycle review, especially if combined with effective action against piracy in other sectors and settings, such as illegal photocopying of books, end user piracy of business software, and piracy of videogames in Internet cafés. Overview of Key Achievements/Problems: Several signs emerged in late 2004 and in January 2005 that the Philippines had taken steps that, if sustained and expanded, will hopefully eradicate optical disc piracy from its shores. These include the single largest seizure of optical discs (over US$8 million worth of pirated discs) occurring in December 2004. The Optical Media Act (OMA) provides the Optical Media Board (OMB) with the authority to eradicate unauthorized production of optical discs. The Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRRs), which were just issued in January 2005, must now be fully enforced with adequate resources devoted to eradicate optical disc piracy in the Philippines.
