It is reported that the intellectual property authorities (OMAPI: Malagasy Industrial Property Office and OMDA: Malagasy Copyright Office) officially protect against intellectual property infringement, but the enforcement capacity is limited due to resource constraints, including low digitisation, a limited judicial system and a lack of awareness of intellectual property rights among businesses and consumers. Due to these constraints, international investors have experienced challenges in defending their interests. Madagascar does not track or report seizures of counterfeit goods, which are readily available on local markets, as are unauthorised copies of famous brands, songs and videos.

Telecom service providers are required, pursuant to Art. 116 of the Law on electronic communications networks and services to collect the personal data of customers of a prepaid service. The provider shall collect the surname, first name, place of habitual residence, place and date of birth of the person. Additionally, the provider shall collect the type, country of issue and number of the person's identity document, as well as a copy of that identity document. In the case of a legal person, the business name, address of place of business and the identity of the person acting as a legal representative must be collected.

Art. 17 of Directive 2019/790 on Copyright in the Digital Single Market (DSM Directive) mandates that providers of content-sharing services seek authorisation from rights holders and implement technical solutions to remove and prevent unauthorised uploads by their users (so-called upload filters), under penalty of losing their liability safe harbour. Further arrangements are envisaged for complaints and dispute resolution mechanisms. Such upload filters are reported to be a significant cost for online platforms. Graduated exemptions are expected to be put in place for new providers active in the EU for less than three years with a turnover under EUR 10 million and with fewer than five million users. The provision is subject to a challenge in the Court of Justice by Poland (C-401/19).
To implement Directive 2019/790, the Copyright, Neighbouring Rights and Databases Act was amended in 2022, giving Royal Assent, making providers of online content sharing services partially liable for copyright infringements on their platforms.

The EU Directive on Audiovisual Media Services (AVMS) covers traditional broadcasting services as well as audiovisual media services provided on-demand, including via the Internet. Art. 13.1 provides for Member States to secure a minimum 30% share of European works in the catalogues as well as "ensuring prominence" of those works. "Prominence" involves promoting European works by facilitating access to such works using any appropriate means to ensure their prominence. The Directive has been implemented by Member States in different ways, ranging from very extensive and detailed measures to a mere reference to the general obligation to promote European works.
In Luxembourg, the EU Directive was transposed into domestic law through the amendment of the Grand-Ducal Regulation of July 2021 (Amended Grand-Ducal Regulation of 5 April 2001 on the promotion of European works in audiovisual media services). According to Art. 5bis of the Regulation, providers of on-demand audiovisual media services must secure at least a 30% share of European works in their catalogues and ensure the prominence of these works. Additionally, Luxembourg has not implemented financial contribution obligations for VOD service providers.
