Working with detectives from the Milnerton police station, the company secured the arrest of two suspects behind the alleged piracy operation.
Two suspects - one male and one female - were apprehended for allegedly selling pirate internet streaming devices that provided illegal access to MultiChoice's premium content in violation of various laws, including the Cybercrime Act and the Copyright Act.
"The two individuals are scheduled to appear in the Cape Town magistrates court on 15 August to face charges related to their criminal activities," MultiChoice said.
"Addressing streaming piracy requires a multifaceted approach, including stricter enforcement of copyright laws, improved access to affordable legal streaming options, and heightened awareness about the risks associated with illegal content consumption. By tackling these issues, the industry can work towards a more sustainable and equitable digital entertainment ecosystem," MultiChoice said. © 2024 NewsCentral Media
