The CEO of the League: “Finally the timely blocking of the illegal signals which have so far damaged Serie A causing over 300 million euros in losses per year”.
The first day of Serie A begins in which Piracy Shield, the anti-piracy platform provided by Serie A to Agcom, is active. Five months after the start of the technical table and after the final approval of the Lazio Regional Administrative Court, Lega Serie A can now count on the tool to interrupt pirate signals and to fight against pirates in a timely manner. The first “taste” with Lecce-Fiorentina, but it is particularly significant that the green light arrived on the weekend of Inter-Juventus. Now the platform is able to block the illegal broadcast of matches via IPTV or on the web browser within thirty minutes, but in the last few hours a block has already arrived for a pirated film site. In short, Piracy Shield will not only protect the ball. The providers received from Agcom the necessary credentials for the anti-piracy platform and to carry out the blocks following the reports sent by the rights holders. In short, the system is now operational.
