Hey AR Community, It's been a stressfull few days. We are diligently working in the background to try to avoid issues like the last few days going forward. We are also working to establish a more robust backend that doesn't depend on any single point of people failure. Keep an eye out for changes and thanks for sticking with us as we get over the bumpy road ahead. Yes we know certain things are not working, we are working on it. Most of all and above all else, I want to thank our community and our committed members. The out pouring of love has been incredible. The amount of love shown by everyone in this turbulent time has been eye opening to say the least. Thanks AR Staff

The much anticipated Piracy Shield blocking system is now fully operational according to Italian authorities. The system's first three official targets appear in legal documents and are web-based, not traditional IPTV providers as some expected. Meanwhile, an operation carried out by over 100 officers to seize contraband from an Italian prison has turned up pirate set-top boxes in prisoners' cells.When over 100 officers of Italy’s ‘Penitentiary Police’ carried out a massive anti-contraband operation inside the Velletri prison last week, the spoils were widely reported in the media. The seizure of a small amount of drugs got a mention, likewise the seizure of six phones, chargers, and a PlayStation console. But what really sparked imaginations was the discovery of pirate set-top boxes, which apparently allowed users to “access various pay TV contents such as Sky, Netflix, DAZN.” An image accompanying a Polizia Penitenziaria article raises more questions than it answers. Who would smuggle an Android device in a box that doubles its size? Even without the box, do traditional prison smuggling methods have the capacity to accommodate something of this size? Fortunately, these aren’t the devices that were actually seized. The pair discovered in the operation were Amazon Fire TV Sticks, which does make a lot more sense, even when bundled with remote controls. That still leaves the question of WiFi access, let alone WiFi access stable enough to eliminate buffering inside a concrete prison. A smartphone with a WiFi hotspot might suffice but, with up to four years in prison for those caught smuggling illicit items, it hardly seems worth the risk. Yet, when compared with punishments available under new law passed in Italy last year, which provides for a €5,000 fine and up to three years in prison for watching pirated content at home, it suddenly doesn’t look quite so bad. The bigger question is whether these devices will continue to enjoy a plentiful supply of live streams following the full launch of Italy’s Piracy Shield system late last week. Piracy Shield Makes Its Grand Entrance There are no obvious reasons why Piracy Shield shouldn’t meet the expectations of its developers at Sp Tech, a startup linked to the Previti Law Firm. Meeting the standards touted by some of the system’s self-appointed evangelists over the past six months won’t be possible, however. After launching in December to meet a legal deadline but then not doing very much since, Piracy Shield made its official grand entrance in time for the match between Lecce and Fiorentina at the Via del Mare Stadium on February 2 “The debut of the anti-piracy platform represents for the Serie A, and in general for the entire world of content producers, a fundamental turning point that has been awaited for many months,” said CEO of Serie A, Luigi De Siervo. Calcio.re, Piracy Shield’s First Official Target On January 29, 2024, broadcaster DAZN filed what appears to be the first official application for enhanced Piracy Shield site blocking. DAZN wrote that since a significant number of links providing free access to Serie A games were being made available by an illicit streaming site, urgent action was required (translated from Italian). Successful Launch or Complete Failure? Since a complete blackout of pirate IPTV services had been predicted by some proponents, when that failed to emerge during the past few days, social media commentary inevitably characterized that as an overall failure. The reality is that such extreme positions will never find common ground; 100% perfect and immediate blocking is impossible but more importantly, only people who enjoy failure launch a system like Piracy Shield and go flat out on day one. In a statement issued yesterday, telecoms regulator AGCOM didn’t name any of the platforms already blocked, but did offer some numbers. “As of Friday, Feb. 2, 65 DNSs and 8 IP addresses illegally broadcasting the matches of the 23rd day of the Serie A soccer championship were blocked within thirty minutes of being reported through the Piracy Shield platform.” Finally, it can be quite interesting to see how pirate sites respond to anti-piracy measures. Here’s a non-comprehensive overview for calcio.re. Some responses may have been pre-prepared or previously available as an option, but if nothing else, blocking appears to be an irritant most platforms can do without.

A DISH copyright lawsuit against UK-based CDN company DataCamp has ended with a settlement. The original complaint alleged that DataCamp failed to terminate 'repeat infringer' customers, identified by DISH as the operators of several IPTV services. The $3m settlement subjects DataCamp to an enhanced notice-and-takedown regime with financial penalties for noncompliance. Outside the agreement, the parties still disagree on almost everything. A DISH Network copyright infringement lawsuit filed in February 2022, demanded $32.5m in damages from UK-based CDN company DataCamp. The original complaint alleged that DataCamp failed to take appropriate action against 11 pirate IPTV services. DISH claimed these clients were repeat infringers after sending over 400 DMCA notices to DataCamp. In many respects the lawsuit was not dissimilar to others that have targeted ISPs and various intermediaries in recent years. Allegations that DataCamp failed to act appropriately under a reasonable ‘repeat infringer’ policy, for example, is a hallmark of these potentially ruinous lawsuits. The Specter of Losing Safe Harbor Protection If a court determines that an intermediary cannot rely on safe harbor protections, the financial consequences of liability can prove catastrophic. As a result, pressure on DataCamp to settle would have been (or at least should have been) enormous. Instead, DataCamp came out swinging. After settlement negotiations failed and pressure increased, DataCamp accused the plaintiffs of targeting smaller companies with copyright infringement claims, then aiming for cash settlements as an alternative to expensive lawsuits with unpredictable outcomes. Given that opposing parties go to court to solve disputes, with settlement one of the more obvious options, in itself the DataCamp claim wasn’t especially unusual. However, the company went on to allege that it had been offered a public consent judgment, ostensibly worth tens of millions of dollars in the plaintiff’s favor, on the understanding that a private agreement meant that nothing would ever be paid. The value, the company said, was in letting other potential lawsuit targets believe that, since DataCamp had paid, when DISH came knocking, they would have to pay too. Parties Agree to Settle In the wake of those extraordinary allegations and others besides, returning to the negotiating table can’t have been easy. The alternative, another one, two or more years of litigation, may have made the decision to carry on talking somewhat easier. In the end, it appears that agreeing to the terms of a settlement was more easily achieved than bridging the chasm of opinion on display in court over the last two years. A statement issued today by anti-piracy group IBCAP, of which DISH is a member, and a separate statement from DataCamp, sets the stage for the same story and subsequent settlement to be told from two different perspectives. “On February 2, 2024, IBCAP member DISH Network L.L.C. received a settlement payment of $3,000,000, resolving its lawsuit against Datacamp Limited, a U.K.-based company providing global content delivery network (CDN) services under the name CDN77 and dedicated servers and network services under the name Datapacket,” IBCAP’s statement reads. “The settlement agreement follows substantial discovery and briefing on Datacamp’s motion to dismiss, which the court denied on July 14, 2023, rejecting Datacamp’s argument that the lawsuit should be dismissed because Datacamp could not be liable for infringement by its customers.” DataCamp’s statement begins by noting the company’s “persistent compliance” with the requirements of the DMCA. “Despite our persistent compliance with DMCA procedures, DISH Network made unfounded claims suggesting that we had not diligently policed alleged copyright infringements by some of our customers,” DataCamp says. “We firmly believe the alleged facts in DISH Network’s complaints are false. Throughout the legal process we vehemently denied each claim and even filed Counterclaims against DISH Network due to their failure to comply with the DMCA process. Despite the difficulty of this decision, we believe that the decision to settle is in the best interest of our company and clients. We maintain our unwavering commitment to the highest ethical standards and DMCA compliance.” Terms of the Agreement Given that the terms of settlement agreements rarely appear in public, that they’re being made available here is unusual, to say the least. The details were provided by IBCAP and are reproduced here verbatim. In addition to Datacamp’s payment of $3,000,000, which has already been received, the settlement agreement requires Datacamp to implement a takedown policy and a repeat infringer policy. These policies will promote the expeditious removal of infringing material and permanently shut down client accounts of repeat infringers. Datacamp further agreed to provide the identity and contact information of its clients that are repeat infringers or those that had their accounts permanently shut down for failure to remove allegedly infringing material. Datacamp agreed to future damages of up to $250,000 per month if it fails to fulfill removal and termination provisions of the settlement agreement. The terms and conditions as detailed in the full agreement are extraordinary and to our knowledge, completely unprecedented. A small sample is provided below for reference, but essentially this reads like an uncompromising, tightened version of the DMCA, with severe penalties for non-compliance. (For ‘defendant’ read ‘DataCamp’) – 3(a) Upon receiving a notice from DISH identifying infringing channels or works (whether airing on channels or offered as VOD), Defendant shall identify its client transmitting such channels or works and contact the client to demand that the client remove the subject channels or works and confirm such removal to Defendant by the date that is three (3) Business Days following Defendant’s receipt of DISH’s notice of infringement. – 3(a)(i) If Defendant’s client confirms the removal within the deadline set forth in paragraph 3(a), Defendant shall inform DISH accordingly by email to the email address that sent the notice of infringement and asking DISH for confirmation. If DISH provides Defendant notice that the client’s removal confirmation for the complained of content is false and the content has not been removed (in whole or in part), then within forty-eight (48) hours following receipt of such notice from DISH, Defendant shall both (1) permanently shut down and not restart the client’s servers/accounts and (2) provide DISH the client’s identity and contact information by email to the email address that sent the notice of infringement. The section relating to financial penalties indicates that if DataCamp fails to handle takedowns in a way that constitutes a breach of the agreement, the company will have five days to put things right. At that point, the following financial penalties come into play: -(2)(b) Defendant shall be liable to DISH for two thousand five hundred United States dollars ($2,500) per channel or VOD title, as identified in DISH’s notices with URLs or other identifying information, per day (or part of a day) that the breach continued (not to exceed two hundred fifty thousand United States dollars ($250,000) per calendar month). Datacamp provided TorrentFreak with the following statement which addresses the agreement as a whole. “The settlement agreement between Datacamp and DISH confirms our adherence to DMCA procedures. Additionally, it explicitly defines protocols for clients who persistently violate policies, display uncooperative behavior, and remain unresponsive over an extended period,” says DataCamp CFO, Veronika Siskova. “Over the years we have readily assisted many content owners in protecting their intellectual property. The settlement terms closely align with standard DMCA procedures and reaffirm DataCamp’s dedication to DMCA compliance, providing a solid foundation for both parties to move forward positively. “We remain devoted to our clients, and this resolution allows us to direct our resources and energy toward continuing to create exceptional products and services.” Finally, it’s worth mentioning that DISH and DataCamp do seem to agree on the purpose of the original complaint, as IBCAP suggests. “This lawsuit and resulting settlement agreement against Datacamp sends a direct message to yet another category of infringers — companies who support pirate services, such as CDNs and hosting companies — that their willingness to deliver infringing content over their networks will not be tolerated,” says Chris Kuelling, executive director of IBCAP. “Datacamp’s payment of $3 million conveys a strong message that CDNs and hosting companies should not take the risk of permitting infringing content to stream across their networks. The takedown and repeat infringer policies that Datacamp has agreed to serve as examples of policies other CDNs and hosting companies should adopt to help minimize infringements on their networks and minimize their exposure to sizeable damage awards.”

"Only two months ago we celebrated our fifth birthday, but today we have something at least equally worth celebrating: the other day we passed the one million perfect FLAC torrents. It shows just how much we as a site and community have grown in these five years. To thank you all for being part of our community, enriching the site with your presence just as with the music you are sharing alike To celebrate this, there is a one week sale in the Bonus Shop. There is one other item of news worth mentioning. A long standing aggravation concerns people who have the misfortune to find themselves on ratio watch. Up until now, being on ratio watch means you cannot download any further torrent files. This is a little help to someone who is still in possession of the downloaded data but no longer has the torrent files that would allow them to reseed the data, reduce their required ratio and generally join in the fun again. Automated *arr snatching tools are particularly notorious at being careless about torrent files. A new code change changes this situation. If you have registered a complete snatch on a download, you can now always download the torrent file, regardless of whether you are on ratio watch or not. The tracker, it goes with out saying, will prevent you from downloading any more data, but you should be able to force check your download and get it seeding again. You do not need to use a freeleech token either. Since no data can be transferred, it will not cost you a byte. With this, you should be able to reseed everything you snatched, reduce your required ratio and move out of ratio watch. Onwards to the next million! With all our love Orpheus Staff"

In the wake of the Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren fight in 2021, Triller filed a $100m lawsuit against entities that allegedly offered the event for free. In a subsequent media release, Triller said that to avoid being sued for $150K each, up to two million PPV pirates should step forward and voluntarily pay $49.99. As part of a long-running lawsuit against the H3 Podcast, Triller now faces allegations that its amnesty program aimed to deceive the public and smear the H3 Podcast. In a matter of weeks, the controversial Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren PPV boxing event will turn three years old and still be remembered for all that went wrong. After the H3 Podcast aired a short clip of the event on YouTube, featuring a fight that lasted just 119 seconds, Triller filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against creators Ethan and Hila Klein. Even today, it still seems nowhere near done. What began as a fairly bitter and personal affair has left both sides with little to celebrate since the lawsuit was filed in 2021. With no obvious benefit beyond money for the overall winner, not losing face down on the canvas appears to be the only discernible prize. Convoluted Lawsuit Finds Knockout Punch Elusive More detailed background on the case is available here. In summary, H3 says that when it showed the fight along with biting commentary on YouTube, that was fair use, even though the video shown was sourced from a pirated copy of the PPV event. For its part, Triller disagrees, bitterly. Last week, Ted Entertainment, Inc. (TEI), the company behind various H3-branded channels, filed a counter-complaint against counter-defendant Triller. TEI’s focus is an amnesty program widely publicized by Triller in the wake of the Paul vs. Askren fight. For a payment of just $49.99, Triller said that people who pirated the PPV could avoid being targeted in legal action that would demand $150,000 from each and every person who watched the fight without paying for it. TEI says the promotion of the amnesty program was misleading and deceptive. “In the course of advertising and promoting its so-called ‘amnesty program’ Triller made false and misleading statements that TEI’s podcast episode entitled Jake Paul Fight Was A Disaster….infringed the Broadcast and that anyone who viewed the Podcast engaged in copyright infringement,” TEI informs the court. “Even worse, Triller made false and misleading statements about the financial ramifications of watching the Podcast to persuade the public to pay Triller $49.99 each to participate in Triller’s so-called amnesty program. This counterclaim is directed at exposing Triller’s false and misleading statements and force it to account for its deception.” TEI Watched a Pirated Live Stream to Avoid Giving Paul Money TEI’s counter-complaint begins with a potted history of its critique of Jake Paul. TEI accuses Paul of engaging in “highly aggressive, manipulative and avaricious marketing practices to his child audience to induce them to purchase his merchandise.” Jake’s brother, Logan, is described as equally problematic, but the focus is on Jake’s boxing career and TEI’s scathing criticism. “TEI produced episodes on the H3 Podcast Channel that criticized Jake Paul’s boxing matches as being horribly lopsided in favor of Jake Paul because he was either significantly larger or younger than his opponents,” TEI says. “These episodes produced by TEI also criticized Jake Paul’s boxing matches as cash grabs intended to bait the audience to pay steep pay-per-view prices in the hope of seeing Jake Paul defeated.” After describing Paul’s matchup with Askren as a “farce that degraded the sport of boxing,” at a PPV price point that was “prohibitively expensive for his target audience,” TEI makes an unexpected admission. Before reviewing the fight on YouTube, TEI employees necessarily needed to watch the fight. However, since that would mean handing over cash to the benefit of Jake Paul, that option was ruled out. “TEI, however, did not want to provide any financial support for Jake Paul (or for any other endeavor involving Jake Paul). Consequently, on April 17, 2021 (i.e., the day of the Broadcast), TEI employees watched an unauthorized stream of the Broadcast on the Internet,” TEI informs the court. “TEI did not make a simultaneous copy of the Broadcast when it was viewed on April 17, 2021. TEI did pay the $49.99 viewing fee for the Broadcast at a later date.” Triller’s Amnesty Program TEI says that on or around May 3, 2021, Triller’s head of piracy, Matt St. Claire, sent a press release to various media outlets that advertised and promoted Triller’s amnesty program. TEI uses sections of a subsequent Reuters article to support its claims that Triller’s statements not only misled the public, but did so at the expense of the podcast. “The aforementioned statements from the Triller Press Release gave the false and misleading impression of fact that: (1) the Podcast itself constituted copyright infringement; (2) anyone who viewed the Podcast was liable for copyright infringement; (3) that the potential exposure for each view of the Podcast was up to $150,000 per view; (4) that TEI runs a criminal enterprise; and (5) TEI resold the Broadcast and profited from doing so,” TEI continues. Since Reuters articles are widely syndicated, Triller’s statements also appeared in articles published elsewhere. TEI claims that the substantial audience led to “countless online posts” in which the company was labeled a criminal copyright infringer. Overall, TEI says that a substantial number of people “were deceived (or had a tendency to be deceived)” into believing that since they watched the H3 podcast, they were also liable for infringement. Reasons for People to Settle TEI says that the above led some to believe that the only way to avoid liability was to participate in Triller’s amnesty program. To encourage them to do so, it’s alleged that Triller offered to drop the lawsuit against TEI if it paid a settlement of $900,000. “By this statement, Triller requested TEI to falsely represent: (1) that TEI paid millions of dollars to settle the Initial Complaint – despite Triller demanding only $900,000; and (2) TEI was knowledgeable of Triller’s watermark technology – as no such information was shared with TEI,” the company adds. “The clear purpose of this statement, just like Triller’s Press Release, was to advertise and promote Triller’s so-called amnesty program (in general) and to TEI’s audience (in particular).” TEI says that the alleged conduct above caused it to suffer financial loss and reputational damage. The company requests a judgment for disgorgement of Triller’s profits, compensation for its losses, an award for treble damages under the Lanham Act, plus costs and attorneys’ fees.
