How to Report Illegal Web Sites to the Proper Authorities

Video Transcript

"You are surfing the internet and you come across a website that looks like it may be engaging in illegal activity. Or you come across a website that looks like it is promoting or selling a product without the permission of the appropriate authority. Hello I am Robert Todd and I am here to answer the question, how to report illegal websites to the proper authorities. Depending on the scenario would depend on which authority you would report it to. But if you had a question about an illegal activity on a website, a good idea would be to first report that your local authority. And that way your local authorities could take care of it, or advise you of the appropriate identity of the authority that you should be reporting it to. On the other hand, if it is a scenario where you come across a website that seems to be promoting or selling a product and you have questions that they do not have authority to do so or they are selling products and receiving money but not sending the products, than you may want to consider reporting that to the United States Copyright Office. I am Robert Todd, and thank you for watching."
