Effective today, a new federalregulation governing the FBI’s Anti-Piracy Warning (APW) Seal authorizes use ofthis seal by all U.S. copyright holders, subject to specific conditions. Anyonewishing to use the seal—along with the mandatory authorized warninglanguage—must obtain it directly from the FBI’s public website.The purpose of the APW Seal is to remindmedia users of the serious consequences of pirating copyrighted works.Copyrighted works can include—but are not limited to—films, audio recordings,electronic media, software, books, photographs, etc. Use of the seal does notindicate that the FBI has reviewed or validated copyright interests in theparticular work and does not provide greater legal protection to the work. Itsimply serves as a reminder of the Bureau’s authority and mission with respectto the protection of intellectual property rights.
