Increase in counterfeits for sale on various social media platforms...we will take strong enforcement action and look to recover any assets. Counterfeit goods fund serious organised crime and they are also unsafe and untested.
Huge thanks and congratulations to our partners @HCC_TS @HertsPolice and @The_ACG for working with @_NMGroup to take forward Op Big Ben - a collaborative approach to reducing the availability of counterfeit goods at this notorious market #fake @RealDeal_Market @Nabma_Markets

The IPO is investing a significant amount of resource into research on online copyright infringement. This report provides timely, robust & accessible data which is an invaluable resource that helps Government & businesses better understand consumer consumption of digital culture
How did our cultural consumption change during the #COVID19 lockdown? Insights from our 6 week study with @The_IPO @AudienceNet include a widening of cultural class gap, boost in content creation & uptake of newer forms of content like online theatre & art bit.ly/31fhRIR
