News comes to us about a new operation against pirate IPTV from the Netherlands.The anti-piracy group BREIN (Association for the Protection of the Rights of the Entertainment Industry of the Netherlands) has found again a seller of pirated services who last year agreed to end his illegal business… but he did not and has been caught again.Now he has been caught again and, in addition to seizing cash worth 25,000 euros and cryptocurrencies, he will have to pay a fine if he reoffends again.Said penalty will be 5,000 euros for each new subscription sold.As early as March 2021 the Dutch BREIN tracked down this man who was selling IPTV subscriptions as part of his endless quest to disrupt the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted content.The subscriptions sold by this subject gave access to more than 6,000 live television channels and on-demand content such as 10,000 movies and television series.These packages typically cost only a fraction of the price associated with similar legal services and offer many more options, attracting the attention of consumers simply by looking at the price for the entire service.After being approached by BREIN, this man agreed to close his seller accounts in Benelux online marketplaces such as Marktplaats.nl and 2dehands.be and a priori ended his illegal business.Since the anti-piracy group did not believe that this man had really ended his lucrative service, they decided to continue investigating him for a while, confirming his suspicions later.He “he pretended to be Belgian, but it turned out that he lived in the Netherlands.He has signed an abstention statement with a penalty clause for future infringements,” BREIN said at the time.Precisely that document that protected against a possible recidivism is what will now have more serious consequences for the offender.After closing that act by paying an undisclosed amount that covered the investigation costs, advertisements were detected and websites showed traces of the same subject, which led to the conclusion that the man had breached the settlement agreement.Now the anti-piracy group has had permission from the Dutch court to access the offender's home and seize the assets obtained as a profit from the business, including 25,000 euros in cash and a cryptocurrency wallet.These assets have been confiscated and a new conciliation agreement has been issued with more severe penalties in the event of a new offense: a penalty of 5,000 euros for each new subscription.If this is the case, the BREIN will also begin the procedures for prosecution and would request prison sentences in addition to the financial penalty.According to the latest figures, BREIN has removed 4,752 advertisements for illegal IPTV subscriptions from sales platforms and has tracked down and arrested 53 illegal providers.Additionally, BREIN has shut down 330 websites that were used to sell illegal IPTV subscriptions.
