The UK's Premier League has been working very hard to deter piracy over the past year, with success. A new report shows that hundreds of thousands of live streams and video clips were blocked or removed. In addition it's revealed that the League was a key player in the takedown of the popular Soccerstreams subreddit. In many parts of the world, football – or soccer as some prefer to call it – is the number one spectator sport. The English Premier League, widely regarded as one of the top competitions, draws hundreds of millions of viewers per year. Many of these pay for access to the matches, but there’s also a massive circuit of unauthorized streams. In recent years the League has worked hard to decrease the availability of these live streams, which isn’t an easy feat. It has been a driving force behind criminal prosecutions, pursued dynamic blocking orders in court, and issued many takedown notices. In the latest IP Crime and Enforcement Report, published by the UK Government’s Intellectual Property Office, the Premier League provides an overview of some of its key achievements over the past 12 months. These are the results of what the organization describes as a “multi-faceted” anti-piracy approach. One of the key pillars of the anti-piracy drive is to reduce the availability of online streams and clips. This worked quite well, apparently, with the League reporting hundreds of thousands of removed or blocked live streams and other video content. “In Season 2018/19 the Premier League removed or blocked over 210,000 live streams and over 360,000 clips of its matches that would otherwise have been available to view in the UK,” the report reads. The dynamic blocking injunctions issued against UK ISPs are also listed as successes. With these, the Premier League can provide Internet providers with continuously updated lists of live streaming sources that need to be blocked during Premier League matches. Another major achievement, which thus far hasn’t been publicized, is the Premier League’s involvement in the demise of the popular live stream subreddit ‘Soccerstreams’, which had over 420,000 subscribers. This subreddit was effectively shut down by its operators in January due to an increasing number of complaints. Initially, the operators banned all user submissions, planning to use the subreddit for news announcements. However, not much later Reddit pulled it offline permanently for violating its repeat infringer policy. https://torrentfreak.com/images/soccerstreambanned.png Apparently, the Premier League was one of the main complainants, as the Soccerstreams ‘shutdown’ is listed among the organization’s largest successes of the past year. According to the report, the football league worked “with Reddit to close its ‘soccerstreams’ thread” A similar victory was booked against another popular streaming site, Ronaldo7.net. While the site is still up and running, the Premier League notes that it previously secured the removal of all its content. Offline there was progress made as well. According to the League, it conducted over 6,000 investigative visits to pubs, clubs, and other commercial venues where its content was displayed. This helped to prevent an unspecified number of illegal broadcasts. https://torrentfreak.com/images/keystats.png The biggest success in court this year came from a criminal prosecution. Together with FACT, the Premier League went after three men who sold pirate IPTV subscriptions to more than 1,000 pubs, clubs and homes throughout England and Wales. Following a four-week trial against the “Dreambox” defendants, the private prosecution resulted in prison sentences ranging from three years and three months to seven years and four months. The same prosecution is also highlighted in a FACT case study in the same ‘IP Crime and Enforcement Report’. This overview ends with a strong focus on press coverage and the associated “advertising” value of the prosecutions. “This result gathered worldwide media interest. It was mentioned in a total of 51 articles in no less than 16 countries worldwide, reaching a potential worldwide audience of over 165 million people. A BBC News article (pictured) had the largest reach, with a potential 35 million readers. “The advertising value equivalent for the press received is estimated at over £1.5 million,” the FACT case study adds. The comparison with advertising value may seem odd in this context, but it makes sense. The goal of prosecutions of this nature is not just to stop the infringing activities. FACT and the Premier League also want to send a clear message to other people participating in similar businesses, hoping they will stop. While there are still plenty of pirate streaming operations online, the Premier League’s overview shows that the organization is taking the issue rather seriously. As such, it will likely continue in the same steps in the new season. Source: Torrentfreak.com

The popular torrent meta-search engine Torrentz2 is the go-to site for many avid BitTorrent users. Aside from indexing classic torrent sites, Torrentz2 recently expanded by adding Google to its index, which apparently has a pretty impressive collection of unique torrent hashes. More than 80 million in total. Like every general search engine on the web, Google indexes every page it can find. That’s what it’s for, after all. Torrent meta-search engines do things quite differently. These sites are only interested in torrent links found on external sites. This includes Torrentz2, which is without a doubt the most popular torrent meta-search engine on the Internet. The site took over from the original Torrentz site, which after it surprisingly closed its doors during the summer of 2016. Over the past three years, the site has rolled out some updates, most of which have gone unnoticed. However, recently our interest was piqued by a rather unusual addition to the Torrent2’s indexed sites. Starting a few weeks ago, Torrentz3 began listing “Google” as a ‘source’ in its search results. Not somewhere down the bottom, but as the top result for every piece of content. Here’s what shows up on the “Ubuntu desktop 19.04” page. The Google link on top leads to a Google search for the associated torrent hash, which finds dozens of pages where the Ubuntu torrent is available as well. This works the same for all other results. Usually, Google returns plenty of options, including several sites that Torrentz2 doesn’t search. What’s also interesting to note is the number of hashes Google has listed in its search engine. According to Torrentz2, Google is currently able to find 82,085,976 unique torrent hashes. While that’s already an impressive amount, the number of torrent pages indexed by Google is actually much higher, as it often has dozens of pages for each torrent hash. After all, the same torrents generally appear on several torrent sites. Google, like any other search engine, has always indexed torrent sites. In fact, it even has a dedicated filetype:torrent command. This allows users to search for .torrent files directly on Google, but it isn’t as effective as the hash-based method. Also, in recent years the site took several measures to make copyright-infringing content harder to find. Nowadays it can be quite a challenge to find something in Google by simply assing “torrent” to a search query. With Torrentz2 + Google, however, that doesn’t appear to be an issue. source: Torrentfreak.com

Google Translation: H & R Hello, since we noticed more and more that the torrents when downloaded up to 95% or so are stopped, in order not to have to seed, from now on for everyone, who's trying in this way to avoid to Seed, we'll remove the download rights. Likewise, it has become fashionable for some users not to seed the finished torrents according to the rules. Here too we reserve the right to limit the download rights! The whole thing here is a give and take, the only way it can work. It is not fair to the other users if H & R is operated here. Greetings your Staff

Popular comedian and musician Koffi Idowu sits on the board of the Copyright Society of Nigeria. He says the country needs to tackle piracy by utilizing cutting-edge technology. Such as barcodes. And the military. Meanwhile, legal streaming services are getting tagged onto banking services which are sharing customer information and habits with music companies. Joke? Probably not. Even when one has visited many countries around the world, subtleties of cultural differences can be difficult to grasp. What’s funny or makes sense in one country may draw a blank expression in another, which is why a recent set of stories from Nigeria catch the eye. Music industry group IFPI describes Africa as a whole as an emerging opportunity for business, with digital music services sometimes available alongside mobile phone services. Nevertheless, the physical music market, while dwindling, is still going strong – even if piracy remains a big problem. Enter stage left popular musician and comedian Koffi Idowu, who in sits on the board of the Copyright Society of Nigeria. COSON, as it’s known locally, describes itself as Africa’s fastest-growing copyright collective management organization. While ‘Koffi’ is known locally for his comedy, one might think that joking about piracy would be off-limits, considering his position. However, it’s almost impossible for outsiders to determine whether his recent comments are serious or not. Content leaks from manufacturing and distribution processes can sometimes be tackled using watermarking, for example. However, Koffi is publicly advocating the use of a “modern technology” that actually debuted in the 1970s. “Modern trends need to be applied by the right commissions to successfully combat piracy. People in the creative industry need to start barcoding their works,” he said, according to several local sources. “We also need to start tracing these works from the sources where they were being stolen. We cannot monitor them physically but with technology, we can go a long way,” he added. Without being disrespectful to Nigeria’s position as an emerging nation (and, of course, presuming this isn’t a joke that doesn’t translate across borders), it seems bizarre to think that a barcode could prevent music piracy in any way. One CD out, and it gets copied, barcode or not. But then Koffi advocates getting the military involved to deal with the problem. “When we discover warehouses where piracy is being carried out, arrests and sanctions can only be done by the appropriate officials,” he said. It all sounds real enough, but it’s only when one takes a look at articles on Nigeria’s market published in the West that one gets a grip on just how different things are in the African nation. Not just different, but also bizarre. An article in Billboard published in April describes how local digital music streaming service uduX is making progress in Nigeria. We’re all used to installing apps for music and banking, for example, but what if they were the same thing? “Through GTBank’s Habari app, a platform for shopping and lifestyle content, uduX, whose name derives from a musical instrument played in Nigeria called udu, will gain access to a community of 16.8 million users,” the Billboard piece reads. “Since consumers have already entered their banking information, they can subscribe to the streaming platform in a few clicks.” Now while this makes sense on a basic level, the privacy-conscious among us might be thinking “what could possibly go wrong?” As it turns out, those fears appear to be not only well-founded but considered a feature in Nigeria. That’s according to Chidi Okeke, the CEO of Groove Platforms, the company behind uduX. “I want to get people to pay for my service and for that, I just needed to be close to where the money is,” Okeke said. And thanks to the partnership with the bank, the streaming service can get information on the bank’s customers, including their ages and location, and perhaps a whole lot more. “We know how they spend their money, so it’s easier for us to target people,” said Okeke. That doesn’t sound like a joke. But the barcodes and military are up for debate, potentially. Or maybe not. Source: Torrentfreak.com
