A major ongoing criminal investigation into illegal streaming services has identified 1,000 Midlands households that will soon receive a knock on the door with a warning of prosecution.
According to police, 1,000 households will recieve a visit this week in a crackdown of illegal streaming
Police have warned households using unlawfully adapted technology such as 'Fire sticks', modified boxes or illegal subscriptions to receive access to premium content could face serious consequences.Homeowners could be served notices, be ordered to stop immediately and warned of serious consequence. The crackdown, led by the police and FACT, comes with the support of organisations like the Premier League and broadcasters such as Sky, BT Sport and Amazon.Speaking following a raid in December that saw a variety of equipment relating to the provision of illegal streaming services seized, West Mercia Police Sergeant Carl Jones said: “This operation sends a strong message to organised criminality that we are homing in on those who knowingly commit or facilitate online copyright infringement.
"Not only is there an enormous loss to the entertainment industry with this particular operation crime but it is also unfair that millions of people work hard to afford their subscription-only TV services while others cheat the system."
