A joint operation by law enforcement, MultiChoice and Irdeto results in the arrest of alleged video streaming pirates.
Video entertainment group MultiChoice this week made significant gains in its fight against piracy, it says.
Yesterday, its law enforcement partners arrested another suspect involved in the illegal sale of internet streaming pirate devices that allowed individuals to access MultiChoice content, violating several legal statutes. “The success of this operation underscores the substantial investment made by Irdeto in investigating and identifying the main suspect involved in this pirate network. The highly-professional support from the Cyber Crime Unit led to the apprehending of the main operators behind Waka TV.”
MultiChoice is working with the police as investigations continue into the thousands of individuals connected to the Waka TV pirate network. In the other case, the Serious Commercial Crime Unit of the Hawks on 4 June arrested a suspect involved in the illegal sale of internet streaming pirate devices that allowed individuals to illegally access MultiChoice content.
