Use a IPTV that offers movies and football matches It has more risks than it may seem. The institutions that take care of copyright have been persecuting different IPTVs for years, and in some cases they have requested records from their clients to go after them as well.

There are many IPTVs on the market, and most of them are just programs that have no content, they just wait for us to tell them the channel lists they should play and that’s it. We have Dimplay, TiviMate IPTV Player, Gamesoftgames Iptv, Smarters Player Lite… there is nothing illegal in using a program of this type, but sometimes we load lists of channels that do not comply with the current law.

This is what has happened now with a pirate IPTV provider, who has paid a fine of $15.7 million to DISH Network and the International Broadcaster Coalition Against Piracy after losing a lawsuit. This is the provider iStar, held directly responsible for infringing DISH’s copyrights. Iraq-based iStar had an IPTV platform called ‘Online TV’, and from there people could watch DISH content without paying the copyright owner. Being in Iraq, it has been very difficult to convict and prosecute him.

The court has decided to keep the domains and restrict hosting companies in the United States and Europe.

The complaint was made in September 2021, but only now do we have the published result.

In torrentfreak they explain all the details of the case, making it clear that the persecution has been constant, with arguments that blame iStar for the drop in DISH subscribers, something very difficult to prove, without a doubt.
