About Rasad Campaign

For the first time in Iran

The campaign of “Saying no to illegal downloading of eBook” kicked off in 2014 with the aim of restoring the rights of publishers and authors in Iran. About 10,000 visitors interested in books tied “Saying no to illegal downloading of eBook” bracelet to their hands – prepared by the campaign itself - and showed their support for the event, symbolically.

Rasad’s objectives

“Saying no to illegal downloading of eBook” is Rasad’s top priority. Providing a secure environment for publishers and preventing the spread of illegal links for the download of eBooks are among Rasad’s other goals. Rasad has tried to create an environment to enable publishers and authors to publish their works, safely.

Rasad’s reasons

Due to the illegal uploading of books on the internet, the uninterrupted efforts of writers and translators in recent years have been aborted and an atmosphere of despair and haplessness has been created. This act has reduced the incomes of the authors, publishers, etc. and created considerable economic losses to the country's publishing industry. Due to the staggering costs and the lack of return on investment, there is no more willingness among publishers to publish more and more titles.

The importance of Rasad

Today, since the issue of copyrighting is not at the heart of ongoing attempts, the status of publishing industry has declined. Due to this failure, the pdf version of many books are now illegally available on the internet and different social networks. These issues confirm the importance of Rasad. Rasad can stop illegal downloading of eBooks and increase the publishers, writers, as well as translators’ income.
