Strengthening the enforcement of intellectual property rights in the digital environment must not come at the expense of fundamental rights and freedom of individuals to privacy, data protection and other rights such as the presumption of innocence and effective judicial protection. The aim of this paper will be to bring some light into contents and relationships between several legal initiatives at an international level and try to find a common denominator of their threats to privacy and data protection. The final section draws the attention on achievable solutions.
