Title: ●Federal Bureau of Investigation Anti-Piracy Warning Seal Program
Abstract: The proposed rule will grant a general authorization for use of the FBI Anti-Piracy Warning Seal (APW Seal), providing access to the APW Seal to all copyright holders, subject to specific conditions of use. The APW is a modified image of the FBI's Official Seal with the words "FBI Anti-Piracy Warning" superimposed on it. On November 17, 2003, the Attorney General approved the APW Seal, then referred to as the "FBI Intellectual Property Rights Seal," as an official insignia of the FBI to be used by the FBI and FBI-authorized entities as part of a copyright anti-piracy awareness campaign. This approval brought the APW Seal within the protection of title 18 U.S.C. section 701, which provides criminal sanctions for the unauthorized uses of such insignia. The image of the APW seal will be made available on the FBI's public website, and it may be downloaded for use on eligible works as specified in the rule.
