Création Autorité de régulation de la communication audiovisuelle et numérique et renforcement lutte contre la contrefaçon sur Internet

This French national bill (proposition de loi ordinaire) would create a new regulatory authority for audiovisual and digital communication. It would also strengthen measures to fight the sale and distribution of counterfeit goods and pirated content online. The title suggests it combines the oversight of broadcasting with the oversight of online platforms and intellectual property enforcement. This summary is based only on the title and metadata, not the full text, so the exact powers and mechanisms are not confirmed here. The bill would mainly affect audiovisual broadcasters, online platforms, content distributors, and rights holders such as producers and brand owners. Consumers could also be affected through changes to how counterfeit or illegal online offers are handled. Specific obligations and responsibilities would depend on the final text.
