Included in the membership are several industry enforcement bodies, including FACT, BPI APU, ELSPA, BSA, FAST. The Alliance has been promoting the value of intellectual property rights and lobbying for legislative reforms for the last six years, during which time several new pieces of legislation have successfully been achieved, including the increase in penalty for copyright theft from two to ten years’ imprisonment. It has built up strong relationships with the Trading Standards Institute and works with LACORS and the LGA to improve enforcement by local authorities. The Alliance participates in the Patent Office's IP Crime Group and is part of the Creative Industries IP Forum launched by the DCMS in July 2004. 167 Great Portland Street London W1W 5PE Tel +44 (0) 20 7436 0041 Web www.aacp.org.uk British Film Institute Richard Paterson, Head of Knowledge and Project Director of screenonline The British Film Institute recognises the dangers of piracy to the financial stability of the film industry.
