  The internet has irrevocably changed the way we live ... ... both in terms of work and in terms of entertainment. One of the results of this is that piracy and other legal problems that, once-upon-a-time, were localised and containable in nature have now been globalised by the net. Anyone who owns, exploits and administers copyrights, trademarks and brands generally is especially aware of the threat to the value of these assets posed by the web. Similarly, the privacy of celebrities and stars is equally vulnerable the power of the internet. It was through the acute need and demand for the protection of on-line rights against infringements and abuse, that Web Sheriff was set-up by its parent company, Entertainment Law Associates. Web Sheriff is one of the few specialist, companies that operate in the field of internet policing and has become a market-leader through offering truly across-the-board solutions, from on-line legal enforcement to high tech anti-piracy. As part of Web Sheriff's activities on behalf of its clients, Web Sheriff has closed-down illegal web-sites from locations all over the globe, including China, Russia, Ukraine, Brazil and, obviously, the US and the UK. Web Sheriff also has a proven track-record of being able to significantly suppress illegal peer-to-peer activity (in some cases by as much as 90%). Similarly - and working in conjunction with companies such as eBay - Web Sheriff is also very effective at eliminating illegal retail activity through otherwise legal web-sites. Whilst most Web Sheriff work is undertaken in connection with the protection of intellectual property and privacy rights in the Entertainment Industry, the methods for closing down web-sites and having content removed are, essentially, universal in application and, as such, Web Sheriff has the capabilities and experience to tackle any form of illegal activity on the internet (see Services page for further details). Web Sheriff's clients include record labels, music publishers, pop stars, film companies, film stars, celebrities, sports personalities, theatre producers, book publishers, video companies, games companies, national newspapers and the media generally.
