MultiChoice is increasingly partnering with law enforcement agencies to crack down on Internet piracy operations in South Africa.
MultiChoice-owned Irdeto’s Anti-Piracy department has teamed up with the Western Cape Provincial Commercial Crime Unit to address the threat of broadcasting piracy in South Africa.
“The Western Cape Provincial Commercial Crime Investigation Unit has shown remarkable commitment and support in helping us fight against broadcasting piracy,” says Irdeto anti-piracy director Frikkie Jonker. While the partnership primarily focuses on anti-piracy mechanisms, Irdeto highlights that it also underscores the group’s commitment to protecting South African consumers from cybercrime and creating a safer media environment.
Last week, MultiChoice announced that it had conducted two successful anti-piracy operations in Johannesburg and Kempton Park. MultiChoice and the Hawks identified individuals allegedly involved in the sale of these devices, which are embedded with applications allowing illegal access to premium television content.
