beIN Sports continues its aggressive stance against unlicensed providers, particularly amid ongoing challenges in combating piracy during live sporting events like the Africa Cup of Nations tournament. The recent report of beIN obtaining an order to block 56 pirate sites aligns with its broader efforts to combat piracy across various fronts.
As the tournament progresses, beIN’s proactive measures to block pirate sites demonstrate its commitment to protecting its exclusive broadcasting rights and ensuring that viewers access content through legitimate channels. These actions signify beIN’s determination to tackle piracy head-on and uphold the integrity of its sports broadcasting offerings.
beIN Sports has been on the frontline of combating piracy, particularly after facing significant challenges like the emergence of beoutQ as an illicit replacement for its service during a diplomatic crisis in 2017. Despite the closure of beoutQ in 2019, beIN continues to grapple with large-scale piracy, especially during major events like the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
To safeguard its exclusive broadcasting rights for AFCON in France, beIN leveraged anti-piracy legislation that provides expedited access to measures such as site blocking. By serving writs of summons to major ISPs and obtaining a court order to block 56 illegal streaming sites, beIN aimed to prevent these platforms from airing AFCON matches illegally.
The evidence presented by beIN highlighted past infringements by these pirate sites, reinforcing the necessity of blocking measures. Although some domains have since changed or remain operational through subdomains, beIN’s dynamic blocking order allows for continuous adaptation to counter evasion tactics.
With proactive measures in place and ongoing vigilance, beIN aims to mitigate piracy and uphold the integrity of its broadcasting rights during major sporting events like AFCON.
One of the pirate domains currently suggests involvement with the insurance and travel business, another claims to be a fitness promotion platform. At least two redirect to new domains before asking for money to keep things going.
beIN Sports’ comprehensive approach to combating piracy extends beyond blocking pirate sites; it also involves delisting them from search engine results. By obtaining court orders to serve on companies like Google, beIN ensures that these domains are removed from search results, making it harder for users to discover alternative sources for pirated content.
The list of domains to be blocked by ISPs in France, as published on the Lumen Database, reflects beIN’s efforts to target a wide range of pirate sites. These measures are aimed at preventing unauthorized access to live football matches and other sports events, thereby safeguarding beIN’s exclusive broadcasting rights.
Furthermore, the recent redirection of certain domains to the Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE) domain seizure banner suggests a proactive response to pirate activity. By redirecting visitors to ACE’s anti-piracy message, these domains effectively deter users from accessing unauthorized content.
Overall, beIN Sports’ multi-pronged strategy underscores its commitment to combatting piracy and protecting the integrity of its sports broadcasting offerings. Through legal actions, ISP blocking, and collaboration with industry stakeholders like ACE, beIN aims to mitigate the impact of piracy and uphold the value of legitimate sports content distribution.
