Multiple arrests in twin MultiChoice and Hawks anti-piracy raids

DStv nails two streaming piracy kingpins

MultiChoice, in collaboration with South African law enforcement agencies, recently conducted two successful anti-piracy operations in Johannesburg and Kempton Park.

The busts led to the arrests of several individuals involved in the illegal distribution of streaming devices preloaded with unauthorized applications for accessing DStv and other premium content.

DSTV I've told you where I am, come on come get me!

Unauthorized streaming devices and unauthorized applications sounds like a losing legal argument.

Another week, another Frikkie Jonker arrest story.

This gives off the same vibes as:

"My_King in collaboration with PnP, recently conducted..."

Takealot should learn from this and attack Temu and Shein harder.

“Piracy is not a victimless crime; it undermines the creative industry, affecting the livelihoods of those who work tirelessly to produce quality content while organized crime syndicates reap the profits.”

Then actually support the creative industry and stop showing repeats.

R5,000 bail each - WOW

Is this the same bust we here about every week or a new one?

 

[R13...]

So, the directorate for priority crime investigation thinks this a priority crime? Surely regular beat cops could have been sent to get these people?

Were these guys simply selling devices preloaded with software or actually accepting payment for a subscription for the software as a conduit for the service itself?

Not clear from the article - but my guess would be free streaming content apps, and possibly Kodi, with some dodgy addons.

An entrepreneur, supporting his family ... , now promoted, and honored as a " Kingpin"

An anchovy, now being dubbed, a "whale"

EISH!!!

Don't sell them, just give them away.

Nothing wrong with small victories, just don't inflate them too much, or they go POP like a over inflated balloon and are as valuable as the remains of that balloon after it has gone POP.
