Disney Star India has taken its fight against piracy to the international stage with the Dubai police recently raiding the operations of an alleged rogue Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) provider, according to a report in Storyboard18.com
The raid resulted in the seizure of IPTV boxes containing 12,000 pirated premium channels and content from various rightsholders.
Quoting unnamed sources, the Storyboard18.com report said Disney Star had filed a criminal complaint in Dubai against a rogue IPTV provider, primeproott.com, which was selling IPTV boxes through its website. The complaint stated that the rogue operator charged Rs 5,750 for the box and Rs 2,300 for access to the application.
Dubai police conducted the raid on September 16, 2024, leading to the seizure of the IPTV boxes and the arrest of the pirate. The illegal sale of these IPTV boxes undermines the principles of broadcast licensing and negatively impacts the fees broadcasters pay for sports and entertainment rights.
The Dubai police is also investigating if other individuals are also linked to the case, the report added.
