address all forms of piracy,” said the MPAA. “Some voluntary initiatives work
well; some have more modest success; and some are simply not effective.”

percent of consumers surveyed in a study stated that they first found a website offering
pirated materials through a search engine.
•58 percent of searches with keywords such as the movie’s title or names of television
shows had links to online piracy sites, according to the report.
•82 percent of search queries that brought a user to a website offering pirated materials
was through Google search. This number is in direct contrast with a report released by

Increasing Awareness
 July 2011 : Guidelines released for rogue website screening by ad networks
Adam Szubin, Director of OFAC, specifically addressed the growing threat of TCOs, stating that OFAC
has been quite active in announcing designations in this area. Also, William F. Wechsler, Deputy
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Counternarcotics and Global Threats, recently stated that criminal
networks have harnessed “new methods of doing business” that must be challenged. TCOs have
become “adroit at harnessing information technology tools, seizing the opportunities presented by the
accelerating velocity of information flows, the proliferation of online money transfer, and the general
anonymity of virtual exchange to increase the scale and scope of their activities while spreading or
reducing the risk of detection.”.
 July 2011: OFAC specifies SDN and screening guidelines
OFAC adds new designees as IP infringers; OFAC reiterates that all offline KYC requirements are also mandatory
online, despite increased difficulty.
 July 2011: US President announces anti-Transnational Organized Crime initiative
Mission of OFAC is expanded, to include IP infringement, cybercrime, etc. – thereby increasing both OFAC’s
jurisdiction and scope.
