Dubai: Dubai Police have dismantled an organised criminal network involved in pirating encrypted international satellite television channels and illegally rebroadcasting copyrighted content to the public through receiver devices, online links and unauthorised websites.
The operation was carried out as part of the force’s ongoing efforts to protect intellectual property rights and combat digital crimes that cause financial losses to content owners and rights holders.
According to Dubai Police, investigations and extensive monitoring revealed that members of the network had been making copyrighted media content available without obtaining the necessary licences or approvals from the companies holding exclusive broadcasting rights.
