Re: 2022 Review of Notorious Markets for Counterfeiting and Piracy: Comment Request, 86 Fed. Reg. 52609, pp. 52609-52611 (August 26, 2022)
Dear Mr. Lee,
We are writing to respond to the above-referenced Federal Register Notice inviting comments on online and physical notorious markets that exist outside the United States. As the U.S. association that represents companies that publish interactive games for video game consoles, handheld devices, personal computers, and the Internet, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) regards the review of notorious markets as an important opportunity to shed light on markets that facilitate mass infringement or counterfeiting of industry products and services and that remain either sheltered from, or impervious to, the deterrent effects of enforcement actions.
