A notorious market is a website or physical market where, according to the
Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR), large-scale
intellectual propertyinfringement takes place. Officially termed Notorious Markets for Counterfeiting and Piracy, the USTR has generated a yearly list of such notorious markets since 2006 with input from various industry groups.
Whilst the list of markets does not directly form national trade policy, the report says
"[t]he United States encourages the responsible authorities to step up efforts to combat piracy and counterfeiting in these and similar markets."[‡ 1]
