In a decisive legal victory for the integrity of sports broadcasting, DAZN – in collaboration with the 12th player – secured a strong court order in Belgium, forcing the providers of Internet services and public DNS Operators to discern Block more than 130 pirate domain and Five illegal IPTV platforms.
This is not just a symbolic victory. That’s a Legally binding directive assisted 100,000 euros a day in financial penalties, issued Brussels Enterprise Court. Platforms like Cloudflare, Google and CiscoOnce seen as the untouchable digital intermediaries, they have now been formally ordered to disable DNS access to domains violated by copyright – Or pay the price.
Dazn welcomed the move as “the first of its kind” and a “right step forward” in the fight against theft of content in Belgium.
Once the law is compensated – and that is an illegal flow painful, expensive and everything in vain.
While others moan about piracy, Dazn actually fights against it. This is not pi stuos – it is Implementation Law Strategy with international implications.
Dazn acts in over 200 countries.
Holds Massive boxing rightsincluding perennial offers with Boxing boxing and Queensberry promotions.
His platform carries top-notch events in boxing, MMA and football-all under constant threat from freeloaders who think he is a “illegal streaming” crime without casualties.
Well, not. As Dazn’s Global Rights Chief, Tom BurrowsTuly mentioned at a meeting at a meeting of financial drivers:
“We come to a stage where it is almost a crisis for sports rights industry.”
“Media rights contracts have been done on the basis of exclusiveness, but I think there is an almost argument to say that you can no longer get exclusive rights because piracy is so bad.”
What makes this implementation truly orientary is A combination of dynamic blocking and intervention at DNS level. That means:
ISP -I like Proximus, Telenet, Orange Belgium and Voo Must block domains violating copyright.
Users crossing the public DNS (like Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 or Google 8.8.8.8) will no longer find the backThanks to a court order.
Cloudflare, Google and Cisco Must adhere to – or face daily financial penalties 100 000 €.
No complaints. There is no litter procedure drawn. Only compliance or punishment.
This, in combination with the Belgium 2022 legal reforms, gives lawyers an efficient, aggressive legal framework for the fight against piracy in real time-in no time Most other jurisdictions are still missing.
For too long, those who casually stole the stolen content were pretended to be held by “greedy corporations”. Reality?
Are drink hard work Fighter, promoter and emiterion.
Are Bypassing the industry itself they claim to love.
Are Cowards that avoid paying £ 10 while hiding behind VPN and telegram groups.
A dial research shows that One third of Belgians between the ages of 16 and 24 Use illegal flows to watch football – and similar numbers are likely to relate to boxing. AND Estimated loss? £ 18 million per year.
When you steal the streams, do not attach it to the man – The robber of their wages fighters and kill future events.
With this successful Belgian case as a precedent, other countries are expected to follow that. We see already:
Non-private collaboration of ISPS.
Public approval of blocking telecommunications manager.
Piracy units supporting the Government Working together with emils.
And now when Great technological doors are on a hook – No more excuses. DNS operators can no longer imagine neutrality when their services are used to bypass legal implementation.
Pirate Community – Reinforced for years with light implementation and technological holes – was finally implanted. Dazan’s victory in Belgium shows what happens when The aircraft stops to ask nicely and start using the law to return.
Is the illegal flow dead? Not yet.
But thanks to Dazno’s leadership, she finally bleeds.
