A seguire la scheda sull'Italia (ancora in "Watch List").
Notate il vivo incoraggiamento all'AGCOM.

ITALY

Italy remains on the Watch List with an Out-of-Cycle review to be conducted this year. Italy
continued to make progress in improving its IPR protection and enforcement in 2010, including by
increased cooperation among law enforcement officials and improved enforcement actions against
certain types of IPR violations. The United States remains concerned that, overall enforcement
against copyright piracy continues to be inadequate and that piracy over the Internet continues to
grow, severely damaging the legitimate market for distribution of copyrighted works. The United
States welcomes recent efforts to address piracy over the Internet, and looks forward to measures to
help ameliorate this problem. Specifically, proposed regulations by the Italian Communications
Authority (AGCOM) could provide rights holders with an avenue to curb IPR violations online in an
effective manner. The United States encourages Italy to ensure that the AGCOM regulations are
swiftly promulgated and implemented, that these regulations create an effective mechanism against
copyright piracy over the Internet, and that they address all types of piracy that takes place online.
The United States also encourages Italy to address other IPR issues, including a troubling Data
Protection Agency ruling prohibiting the monitoring of peer-to-peer networks. While rights holders
report good efforts by the Finance Police and the Customs Police, few cases reach final sentencing
and courts still fail to impose deterrent level sentences. The United States will continue to work with
Italy to address these and other matters.
