Following a recent settlement agreement with the operators of the Fastshare.cloud storage service, the Commercial Television Association has managed to reach an agreement with the operators of eDisk and Sledujteto.
The Association of Commercial Television (ACTV) has reached a significant settlement with the operators of eDisk and Sledujteto. eDisk and Fine Horizon Holdings Corp Limited have agreed to prevent the sharing of copyrighted works.
The agreement was reached after negotiations between AKTV and members of TV Nova and FTV Prima. The eDisk operators will now ensure that protected works of commercial broadcasters are not available on their platforms, putting in place tighter controls against illegal sharing. In exchange, the broadcasters will end all legal and enforcement proceedings against the operators.
"The goal is continuous cooperation, updating the lists of protected works and improving filtering mechanisms," said Klára Brachtlová, president of AKTV. She also added that protecting investment in original content, in which TV stations invest hundreds of millions of crowns a year, remains a priority.
In addition to legal protection of copyright, AKTV focuses on educational activities. Its website offers educational materials on intellectual property protection and up-to-date news on piracy, in an effort to reduce the illegal distribution of content on the internet.
This is yet another agreement that AKTV has managed to achieve in the field of combating illegal content sharing. This May, for example, it reached an agreement with the operator of the Fastshare.cloud storage site.
