The Association of American Publishers has welcomed the announcement by the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) of the 2018 Special 301 Out-of-Cycle Report of Notorious Markets. The inclusion of problematic online and physical markets on the list encourages the market operators or responsible authorities in the countries associated with such markets to intensify efforts to combat piracy in their markets. The 2018 Notorious Markets List issued by USTR includes online sites that continue to pose significant concerns for book and journal publishers.
The Notorious Markets List highlights online and physical markets around the world that harm US businesses by engaging in and facilitating copyright infringement. USTR again listed several of the most egregious online sites identified by US book and journal publishers as having a significant adverse impact on the industry.
The 2019 USTR Notorious Markets List is available at https://ustr.gov/sites/default/files/2018_Notorious_Markets_List.pdf.
