Indecopi, a Peruvian agency, blocked 132 websites in Peru during “Operation Lumen” after finding they illegally shared music and distributed malware.
The agency coordinated with the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) from September 22 to 23 to enact the block through internet service providers. Indecopi launched the operation to disrupt the online spread of illegal content and lessen the harm caused by digital piracy.
Milagros Maraví, president of Indecopi, stated that increasingly complex operations are exploiting technology to profit from creative work, harming creators and cultural industries. The agency expects that blocking these sites may increase visits to legitimate subscription or account update pages by 3 to 8 percent. The operation aimed to strengthen regional cooperation in fighting these illegal acts.
