On March 8, we reported that LaLiga had requested permission from Barcelona’s Commercial Court No. 8 to identify users broadcasting Spanish league matches on pirate channels.
This is news that has caused a lot of controversy among users and the industry itself: when the news breaks, it’s not just the people who distribute the content, but also the people who consume it. When faced with this situation, the judicial system decided to clarify the facts and made it public: LaLiga will not be punished for watching football that is whistled.
The LaLiga Vigilante deck can only get you if you make a profit by streaming matches.
LaLiga has asked Spain’s judicial system to allow teleoperators to give them information on those companies’ decoders, IP addresses, names and identities as part of its fight against piracy. People who broadcast football matches to illegal platforms.
Chaos has reigned on the net as many users who watch Spanish league football matches for free fear that they may be affected by the active arm of LaLiga. However, the Spanish justice system has ensured that users have nothing to fear, even if they do not have to participate in this activity either.
LaLiga has requested permission to monitor a form of piracy known as “card sharing”. what is it? Basically, it’s about being a credentialed person who can legally use protected content (paid for) and distribute it on other platforms so that third parties can see it without checking out.
It includes those who use the said content illegally as they commit card sharing payment fraud. Therefore, both the broadcasters and the “viewers” are worried. However, that will not be the case this time.
According to Barcelona Commercial Court No. 8, the measure is only to identify those who carry out illegal redistribution. That is, it only follows “card shares” that redistribute content protected by audiovisual rights. In fact, in many cases people do it to make money.
If you are a person who watches Spanish football on pirate channels, without paying subscriptions to watch legally, you don’t have to worry for now. You’re definitely infringing on that content and Lalligan’s audiovisual rights, but it won’t come after you. Can it come later? Yes, but now he is focused on stealing only this profitable people.
