LaLiga is already talking to Google to implement the most radical measure to end IPTV

Magis TV was in the crosshairs of the owners of the broadcasting rights and an Argentine court has ruled in their favour. The owners of one of the most widely used illegal IPTV services in the country have been arrested, 484 pirated devices have been seized and 69 domains associated with the platform have been blocked.

LaLiga has been blocking pirate IPTV for months and has taken more serious measures with the first fines that have arrived at the homes of cardsharers, but the president of the organization has clarified that this is not enough.

Javier Tebas’ organization has closely followed this case and has taken measures in line with the joint complaint of the anti-piracy group LATAM Alianza with members including Direct TV, Warner Bros. Discovery, Sky Brasil, Disney, Win Sports, Globo and Telecine. LaLiga also wants Google to be tougher on people who broadcast and consume sports without paying the fee.

The owners of the emission rights They have asked Google to remove pirate IPTV remotely from devicesbut the tech giant is unlikely to comply with these demands. The Mountain View company does not want to damage its global image and removing an application without users’ consent poses a significant risk to its privacy.

Javier Tebas has held talks with Google to curb piracy in Spanish football with more serious measures. The president of LaLiga has assured that so far they have eliminated 58 pirate applications with more than a million downloads in Spain, just five days after the start of the new season.

LaLiga has started negotiations with Google against pirate IPTV

LaLiga wants Google to remove pirated apps already installed on devices. “If you can do it with child abuse images, you can do it with hacking tools”Tebas said at a LaLiga event held at the Museum of Arts and Sciences in Valencia.

Piracy in the European Union has grown by 3.3% in 2022, according to a report of the European Intellectual Property Office. LaLiga has been trying to stop piracy of football matches for eight years with the creation of an anti-piracy department that now detects over 46,000 IP addresses streaming unlicensed live sports worldwide.

LaLiga is determined to “eliminate” pirated apps, but the scope of this action is not yet clear. The organisation has blocked 58 apps from being downloaded from the Google Play Store, but has not deleted them from devices that already had them installed.

“That is another of our struggles: those who have them downloaded on their mobile already have them and now we have to work to eliminate them,” According to Javier TebasThe president of LaLiga assures that they are talking with Google to study a way to eliminate them completely without posing a risk to the privacy of users, and that would involve uninstalling them from all Android devices.
