The Disney Star’s anti-piracy team recently trained Dubai police and law enforcement agencies on combating content piracy in the region, according to a report by Storyboard18, which is part of Reliance’s media empire.
Quoting unnamed sources the Storyboard18 report said the Disney Star team will also train law enforcement agencies in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, including Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
Digital video piracy results in revenue losses ranging from $40 to $97 billion for the global film industry. The losses for the global television industry are estimated to be between $40 billion and $95 billion. The Indian entertainment sector experiences an annual revenue loss of approximately $2.8 billion due to digital piracy, according to a report by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development.
On September 19, Storyboard18 had reported that Disney Star India has taken its fight against piracy to the international level by conducting an operation to raid a suspected rogue Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) provider in Dubai.
The raid led to the seizure of multiple IPTV boxes containing 12,000 pirated premium channels and content from various rights holders.
