LA COALICIÓN DE CREADORES E INDUSTRIAS DE CONTENIDOS

The Coalition of Creators and Content Industries brings together almost the entire digital content industry in Spain. A sector that, as a whole, contributes more than 5% to the national GDP. All the associations share the defense of intellectual property rights in the digital field, and the need to promote initiatives that put an end to the plunder that the piracy of cultural contents causes.

The Coalition struggles both to defend the creation, promoting actions to avoid the infringement of intellectual property rights on the Internet, as well as to promote the development of the legal offer of content.
