The main sports competitions have great tools to fight against pir-cy worldwide. LaLiga has Marauder, constantly analyzing the Internet to find signals broadcast without permission. Now, a new league has an improved secret system to block pirted IPTV.
We are talking about the Premier League , where the English league has been working for years to fight against pir-cy of its football matches on the Internet. The method most used today to close pirte streams is through the collaboration of the operators, who block them so that those who have contracted Internet with them cannot access them. Another method is to contact those who host the servers for that service, and urge them to cancel the service.
IPTV blocking system improvements
Operators do not usually block addresses themselves, but they do when the Premier League obtains judicial authorization to do so, which they have been doing since 2018. However, there is now evidence that they have obtained permission to take these blocks one step further. there.
According to the court order, they have now engaged Irish operators such as Eircom / Eir, Sky Ireland, Sky Subscriber Services, Virgin Media Ireland and Vodafone Ireland to block IP addresses of pirted servers. These operators now participate in an enhanced dynamic block program, of which there is little information to prevent pirte IPTV broadcasters from being able to bypass the blocks.
The Premier League has received permission to carry out these enhanced lockdowns in the upcoming 2021/2022 season . The system seems to work in such a way that companies related to the Premier identify the pirted content that is being broadcast, and notify the operators during the meeting. There they are blocked by the operators so that they cannot see them without resorting to services such as free VPN.

However, the Premier believes that putting blocks on users who access from all over the country will already be more than enough to prevent many of them from pir-ting, which could lead to more users paying to consume the content.
Despite all these measures, IPTV pir-cy continues to be a problem affecting countries like the UK. To this type of measures must be added making the content more attractive and accessible to users, with cheaper subscriptions that eliminate the incentives for pir-ting.
