LONDON ‐ Tuesday November 27th 2012 ‐ Leading anti-piracy company MUSO can today announce a key partnership with new European organisation Europa International, to support film sales agents and international distributors in protecting their film titles from the effects of online piracy.
MUSO will provide Europa International with a special, significantly discounted rate, offer anti-piracy education and training, and also provide a exclusive piracy report twice yearly for each Europa International member, helping them better understand the piracy market for their film titles.
“We’re delighted to be able to announce this partnership”, says MUSO’s Christopher Elkins. “Europa International have shown real determination and leadership in the European film sector, firstly by educating their members about the potentially devastating effects of online piracy, then subsequently providing clear, demonstrable ways to take real-world action in using anti-piracy to create better market conditions ‐ ultimately delivering a better experience for audiences”.
