The publishing industry suffers from several challenges related to counterfeiting and piracy, which increased sharply after the evolving of COVID-19, causing massive losses to the content industry in many countries.

It focused on the publishing industry and the role of copyrights, shedding light on the most successful international practices in the field of intellectual property rights protection for creative industries.
