Super Channel owner asks court to block sale of devices it says are used to pirate TV content


Recommended Posts

Allarco Entertainment 2008 Inc., the Edmonton-based media company that owns and operates the premium cable and satellite TV channel, alleges several big-box retailers have been selling streaming devices programmed to pirate television content, including Super Channel’s.

The company has filed for an injunction that would order Staples Canada ULC, Best Buy Canada Ltd., London Drugs Ltd. and Canada Computers Inc. to stop selling the devices immediately. The case will be heard Tuesday.

“The only reason why people buy these boxes is to steal content,” Allarco president and chief executive officer Donald McDonald said in an interview. Super Channel has exclusive Canadian rights to shows such as The Oath and Swedish Dicks.

It’s not the first time a broadcaster has turned to the courts over piracy issues. Super Channel filed a copyright lawsuit over this issue in 2019; it is still pending. And in 2016, BCE Inc., Rogers Communications Inc. and Quebecor Inc.’s Videotron Ltd. teamed up to take legal action against five manufacturers of digital set-top boxes that came preloaded with applications that could be used to.
