This week many of the world’s top content producers will gather in Los Angeles at the Anti-Piracy and Content Protection Summit.In line with previous years there will be a strong focus on enforcement and legal initiatives that are needed to secure better copyright protection.However, there is also a newer trend where pirates are viewed not so much as a problem, but as a challenge and an opportunity to improve legal offerings. David Kaplan, Chief of Anti-Piracy Operations at Warner Bros., explains this line of thought in a teaser for this week’s summit.“Generally speaking, we view piracy as a proxy of consumer demand,” Kaplan notes.“Accordingly, enforcement related efforts are balanced with looking at ways to adjust or develop business models to take advantage of that demand by offering fans what they are looking for when they are looking for it.”
