US clamping down on piracy here

The United States has been quietly clamping down on television piracy in Guyana, even as it has promised the Caribbean to help probe similar intellectual property and copyright violations by American companies.

“US industry has raised its concerns over the piracy of television programmes and had in fact had a team here, earlier this year, to look at that question and resolve the piracy of a particular television station,” outgoing Deputy Director of Mission Bryan Hunt told Stabroek News in an interview.

Most television stations in Guyana broadcast American content including news and current affairs programmes, movies and music including from DVDs.
