What is the Industry Trust?
The Industry Trust for IP Awareness
The Industry Trust for Intellectual Property Awareness was established in 2004 to tackle the growing issue of film and TV copyright theft in the UK. Today it represents a wide range of companies from the British film and TV industry, including home entertainment, theatrical film distributors, DVD retail and rental companies and a variety of industry bodies and associated companies active in the sector. The Trust's goals are to:
- Limit copyright theft in terms of consumption of counterfeit physical copies and illegally downloaded digital content
- Limit the damage counterfeit DVDs and illegal downloads can cause, not just to the creative industries but to the economy, consumers and communities
- Be a voice for the film and TV industry on the protection of copyright, it's contribution to society and the value of creativity
The Industry Trust seeks to achieve its aims through consumer education and awareness campaigns and the provision of training and information for those working to promote, protect and enforce copyright.
The Industry Trust works with the industry's anti-piracy body, the Federation against Copyright Theft (FACT), Trading Standards, the Police and other agencies to help combat copyright crimes. The Industry Trust also supports the work of the Alliance against IP Theft in lobbying for more effective enforcement and tougher legislation against fakes.
