Every year, the<\/span> Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR)<\/b> publishes the <\/span>\u201cReview of Notorious Markets for Counterfeiting and Piracy,\u201d <\/b>a report containing findings on various online and physical markets around the world that are suspected of facilitating large-scale Trademark counterfeiting and Copyright piracy.<\/span><\/p>\n

The primary purpose of this report is to encourage governments, industry stakeholders, and platform operators worldwide to strengthen their efforts in preventing intellectual property violations, while also raising public awareness about the negative impact of piracy and counterfeit goods on the global economy.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the latest <\/span>2025 Notorious Markets List (NML)<\/b>, released on March 3, 2026, USTR identified 37 online markets and 32 physical markets that are considered to have significant levels of intellectual property infringement activity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sports Broadcasting Piracy and the Digital Ecosystem Become Major Concerns<\/b><\/p>\n

Many people may still be unaware that sports broadcasts, just like films or television series, are protected by Copyright. This means that broadcasting or distributing such content across various platforms without authorization and without paying the required licensing fees for broadcasting rights constitutes Copyright infringement.<\/span><\/p>\n

For those aware of this, it may already be apparent that major global sporting events, such as <\/span>MotoGP<\/b> or the <\/span>FIFA World Cup<\/b>, are becoming increasingly difficult to watch without subscribing to specific platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n

This situation arises because Copyright owners or rights holders for sports broadcasts set substantial licensing fees for these events. According to USTR, the global valuation of sports broadcasting rights reached approximately<\/span> USD 62.6 billion<\/b> in 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a result, any unauthorized \u201cleak\u201d or illegal streaming of such broadcasts is considered to cause significant economic losses to the global entertainment industry, making piracy of sports content a serious threat to both the creative industry and the broadcasting business model.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The report also highlights how the modern digital ecosystem\u2014including hosting providers, streaming platforms, cyberlockers, and online advertising networks\u2014can become channels for distributing pirated content if they lack adequate monitoring and complaint mechanisms.<\/span><\/p>\n
