Frances Moore, chief executive of IFPI, says: &#8220;The recording industry  welcomes the fact that Singapore has joined the list of nations that  consider website blocking to be a proportionate and effective tool to  tackle digital piracy.  <!--more-->  Website blocking is an important way of reducing  infringement and stimulating the development of a licensed digital music  market. We urge policymakers in other countries to look at introducing  measures similar to those set to be implemented in Singapore.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> Legislators approved the third reading of the Copyright Amendment Bill  on 8th July and the website blocking measures will now come into force  when the President signs the Bill into law. Under the new legislation,  rights owners can obtain injunctions from the Singapore High Court that  would require ISPs to block users&#8217; access to websites that flagrantly  infringe copyright law.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <\/span><br \/><span class=\"normal\">IFPI<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Singapore&#8217;s Parliament has this week approved a Bill introducing a civil law procedure for website&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4478","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4478","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4478"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4478\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4478"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4478"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4478"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
