more blocks on the way?

Sky obtains court order to block illegal streaming of popular shows and football matches - UK Snack Attack

looks like more work for server owners coming up,

mind you, unless the blocks are of a different nature most servers had no problems working around the blocks last season.

need a court order to stop wolves selling even more players!

 

[bazcfc1]

It’s obvious that there was going to get a court order nothing new for beginning of season.
The question is how quick will providers have a work round for the blocks as no provider knows what tactics will be used this time

Looks like this could be the final nail in the coffin for iptv. Maybe time to start thinking about buying a Viark.

i'd say not, a lot of people making a lot out of it, they won't let it go without a fight.

bear in mind it is one company supplying the tech to attempt blocks and there a lot of clever people out there working against it.

its also uk only blocks at the minute, nobody in europe seems as bothered.

over in spain there are numerous iptv shops selling access

meanwhile over in italy a new law comes into force on August 8 and authorizes nationwide ISP blocking of live events and enables the state to issue fines of up to 5,000 euros to users of pirate streams. Presumably, the intent is to target people who buy IPTV packages, but in any event, the overriding aim is to deter any involvement in illegal streams, no matter where they begin, or where they end.

only problem is there is a huge lack of resources for policing this sort of thing across the world.

 

[Paul_C]

There's so many alternative sporting links that you'd think would still be available if Sky do block access to their services.

"a third-party group responsible for identifying the source of illegal streams through IP addresses or dedicated servers"

They've tried going after the people in charge, hosting companies and realised that they don't have the resources to do it so time to target the end users to try and scare them. If you look back in time its very similar to the tactics used on the "war on drugs", you will see the odd big fish caught but in the end it won't stop it. The real way to stop it is make tv affordable for all, but they would rather spend their millions prosecuting

there sholdnt be a problem if your using a vpn?

If they hit hosting companies and take it down from there then a vpn will be no use, vpn works for ip blocks
