The Ministry of Economy has outlined plans to complete the project within 3 years in collaboration with its partners. The
Anti-Piracy Lab, which will be established in Dubai Media City, will be similar to the La Liga’s Anti-Piracy Lab in Madrid. The
lab will utilize cutting-edge technological and digital tools to detect, analyze, and remove illegally used audiovisual content,
adhering to industry best practices. Dubai was chosen due to its collaborative efforts with relevant government bodies to
formulate policies promoting creative industries and safeguarding intellectual property rights. The city also contributes to
the development of a legal and regulatory framework that supports innovation and creativity in the media industry.
The Ministry of Economy, through its ‘InstaBlock’ initiative, has successfully blocked 1117 websites that infringed upon the
copyright of creative content on digital platforms during the holy month of Ramadan 2024, compared to 62 sites in
Ramadan 2023.
