EU and US mull new international pact on piracy
Members of the European Union and the US are to enter negotiations on an international Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA). The treaty aims to create a high-level international framework, within which intellectual property protection and enforcement will be improved through international coordination. ACTA proposes harmonized standards of international cooperation, agreement on the best enforcement practices, and alignment of laws. In total, 34 countries have initially agreed to take part in discussions, with the notable exceptions of China and Russia - probably the largest disc counterfeiting and trading centres in the world.
Our take...
Although there is a very long way to go, ACTA marks a big step forward towards international intellectual property rights protection in major markets. However, this effort will not reach its full potential without the cooperation of China and Russia, as the world's two largest centres for the production and trade of counterfeit DVD product. According to MPA research quoted in Video Intelligence, the piracy rate was as high as 93% in China and 81% in Russia as at end of 2005.

DVD manufacturing-on-demand
DVD replication is suited to the on-demand model. Burn times have been reduced and the cost of components has fallen, so it is now a relatively quick and affordable procedure. The development of selfcontained replication units has made it possible for DVDs to be manufactured on-demand, and on-site, in retail stores and warehouses.
