Website blocking has become a widely used tool in the fight against piracy: in many countries, ISPs block access to copyright-infringing websites, for example, based on court orders.
While Europe is at the forefront of implementing site blocking measures, the report identifies thirteen priority countries with insufficient copyright protection: China, India, Indonesia, Russia, Turkey, Ukraine, Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Malaysia, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia and Thailand.
Interestingly, the report does not mention the US despite being one of the countries with the highest volume of online piracy in the world.
