Morocco - IP Case Study – Intellectual Property Protection in Morocco's Music Industry

The Moroccan music is very rich and covers a very large spectrum: Arabo-andalouse, Malhoune, Chaabi, Classic, Berber, etc. However, the music industry in Morocco is highly informal and poorly organized. Piracy is a pervasive problem that has severely impacted the Moroccan music industry. Unauthorized copying and selling of CDs and tapes is a common and openly practiced activity, contributing significantly to the industry's challenges.
