IBCAP has announced Rai Com has become its newest member.
The International Broadcaster Coalition Against Piracy (IBCAP) has expanded its membership with the addition of Italy’s public national broadcaster, Rai Com, as it seeks to protect Italian-language content.
Monitoring and takedown services will be provided for all of Rai’s eight TV and three worldwide radio channels, including Rai Italia which provides programming for Italian communities around the world.
Rai content is available in 174 territories, with Italian-language content popular in the US, where almost 16 million people identify as Italian-American.
Chris Kuelling, executive director of IBCAP, said, “We welcome Rai to the IBCAP coalition and look forward to further expanding our coverage umbrella with the addition of Italian channels. Rai’s membership, alongside that of BBC and NHK, represents another leading national broadcaster entrusting IBCAP with reducing piracy of their content.”
