The International Broadcast Anti-Piracy Coalition (IBCAP) has announced that NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) has joined as its newest member.
With the addition of NHK, IBCAP will expand its protection to include Japanese, in addition to the already protected English, Hindi, Urdu, Arabic, Portuguese and French channels. As part of the expansion, IBCAP has added a Japanese analyst to its Anti-Piracy Lab, focused on protecting NHK content.
“We have been impressed by IBCAP’s achievements in controlling piracy of other members and are pleased to join and place our channels and VOD under IBCAP’s protection,” said Shigeki Sato, head of NHK’s Copyright and Contracts Division. “After touring IBCAP’s state-of-the-art monitoring lab and meeting with the legal and management teams, we were quickly convinced that joining this alliance was the right move to strengthen the protection of NHK content not only in the United States, but around the world.”
“Given IBCAP’s expertise and focus on combating piracy in multicultural communities, NHK’s inclusion is an obvious and perfect fit for both organizations,” said Chris Kuelling, Executive Director of IBCAP. “We look forward to controlling piracy of their content, just as we have successfully helped other IBCAP members do. With over 200 TV channels from the United States, Europe, Brazil, the Middle East and South Asia already protected by IBCAP, we are proud to now add Japanese channels to our alliance.”
