Supported by British justice, the MPA (Motion Picture Association) found a solution to illegal streaming and sites that share pirated content. Without any verification of the content, justice blocks clones and mirror sites. How to discourage hackers?
It’s a game of cat and mouse that has been going on for about ten years… Since Internet connections have made it possible to broadcast television, it’s called IPTV (Internet Protocol TeleVision). This little game, or rather this battle, is the one between pirates and rights holders on illegal streaming, whether it is the uploading of films, TV series or even live broadcasts. , such as broadcasts of sporting events.
Each year, clever little guys manage to thwart the protections to share films and television channels online, and each year, producers and broadcasters multiply actions to stop them. Until when will this little game continue? According Torrent FreakGreat Britain would have found the legal parade to whistle the end of the game.
A site in the crosshairs, hundreds of clones blocked
While the judgments initially attacked a site in particular, such as The Pirate Bay for example, the British justice system pulled the rug out from under pirates’ feet by extending the blocking to mirror sites and their derivatives. At the request of the MPA (Motion Picture Association), which represents the interests of the biggest Hollywood majors, the United Kingdom has thus blocked clones of 123moviesa huge network of illegal streaming sites whose creators are in Asia.
Each time a site appears with 123movies in the domain name, it is blocked and, for a year, the United Kingdom has thus blocked more than a hundred! and this, without any verification of the content. It doesn’t matter who owns it, it’s blocked by internet service providers at the behest of justice. A method that could discourage hackers while the MPA has provided a parallel list of 20,000 sites and 75,000 domain names to block in nearly 40 countries!
