The UK Police IP Crime Unit
(PIPCU) & the Infringing
Website List (IWL)
How PIPCU deals with IP crime
Evidence of infringement. Rights holders provide evidence packages for each site
submitted to the Police.
Determining infringement. Consistent criteria for what type of site constitutes a
breach of copyright.
Soft tactics. Restorative justice through contacting site owners and requesting
they resolve infringement.
Disruptive tactics. Removing payment enablers (i.e. credit card companies) and
revenues (making a register of URLs available to the ad industry). This is the IWL.
Hard tactics. Working with law enforcement cross-border, to take down sites.
