Anti-piracy group FACT is helping UK police to deliver warning messages to alleged pirate IPTV users. Instead of simply sending letters in the mail, some cease-and-desist notices will be delivered in person. A recent IPTV crackdown resulted in the
identification of over 1,000 subscribers, who will be asked to immediately stop any illegal activity, or else. Last month, anti-piracy group FACT announced that one of these IPTV operations had been disrupted. Worcester Trading Standards officers,
helped by West Mercia Police, FACT and BT, seized a variety of equipment and identified a main target. Knocking on Pirates' Doors The alleged operator of the service now faces a criminal prosecution which, as we've seen in other cases, may lead to
a serious sentence. More surprising, perhaps, is the fact that subscribers are in the crosshairs too. This month, FACT and police will pay home visits to people who used illegal streaming services. These people, more than 1,000 in total, were
presumably identified following last month's raids by West Mercia Police. The raided service offered modified streaming boxes, Firesticks, and subscriptions. While details are scarce, those targeted were identified as users of the service through
administrative records. This month, some of them will receive a knock on the door, paired with an in-person warning notice. |
