A statement released by Casbaa read: “The DoJ had strengthened the industry’s faith in a government commitment to protect intellectual property rights”.
According to Casbaa, the broadcasting association and its members filed the complaints against Maguindanao Skycable for allegedly illegally acquiring and transmitting copyrighted programming from channels including AXN, CNN International, Star Television and Discovery.
The decision to pursue action has also been welcomed by the Philippine Cable Television Association (PCTA).
