Alianza audiovisual.net

What Alianza audiovisual.net does

Alianza audiovisual.net is a non-profit industry coalition dedicated to combating audiovisual piracy across Latin America. Founded as a collective response to intellectual property theft affecting the content industry, pay-TV operators, and government tax revenues, the alliance unites 15+ major stakeholders — including pay-TV operators (DirecTV Latinoamérica, SimpleTV, SKY Brasil), content producers (Warner Bros. Discovery, The Walt Disney Company, Grupo Globo, Telecine, LaLiga), professional sports leagues (CONMEBOL, DIMAYOR, LFP Argentina), technology providers (Nagra Kudelski), and industry associations (ABTA, CAPPSA) — under a single coordinated anti-pir mandate.

The alliance operates through a multi-pronged enforcement framework: technical signal disruption of unauthorized retransmissions via illegal FTA and IPTV equipment, continuous scanning of pirate sites to identify and remove advertiser support, legal actions including service blocking, raids, and criminal prosecutions, regulatory advocacy with government authorities, training programs for government entities and industry professionals, and public awareness campaigns. Its core technological asset is a dedicated laboratory that acquires, analyzes, and catalogues FTA and IPTV pirate equipment and associated services, producing intelligence catalogs shared with customs authorities across all operating countries to block imports of illegal devices. Notable enforcement operations include Operation 404 and Operation Animes.

Alianza's business model is member-funded subscription-based, with no commercial revenue from products or services. The alliance is supported entirely by membership contributions from its participating companies. It operates with a lean leadership team of approximately five individuals, led by Chairman Jorge Alberto Bacaloni (also Regional Anti-Piracy Manager at Waiken ILW) and Executive Director Taro Nakajima, a lawyer with over 25 years of experience in content protection. The organization's geographic reach spans Latin America with particular depth in Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Peru, and Colombia.
