Police Priorities

[Easy-X]

Anti-piracy police will target 1,000 homes where football fans are watching illegal Premier League streams and then prosecute if they don't stop tuning in

Nice to know all the major crimes have be cleared up so the police can busy themselves with this nonsense!

"Two years ago, two men, Paul Faulkner and Stephen Millington, were given 16-month prison sentences for watching illegal streams. "





"In what is understood to be the first conviction of its type in the UK, a man who created and built a software package which enabled illegal access to BT Sport, SKY, Netflix and other subscription television content has been sentenced to two and a half years’ imprisonment. The software package or, ‘build’ he created was distributed to thousands of users, enabling them to access premium television and film content without payment, and causing potential losses to the legitimate broadcast industry of millions of pounds per year.

Mr Stephen Millington, age 42, from Winsford appeared at Chester Crown Court on 30 November 2021 after pleading guilty to multiple fraud and copyright offences, including making and supplying software to enable illegal access to subscription content, distributing infringing film content via a dedicated server he controlled, sharing login credentials for subscription streaming services and illegally accessing content for his own use.

Mr Millington was the creator of software package ‘stephen-builds’ which facilitated access to subscription television and film content without payment to the rights’ holders. He also supplied details of the ‘Supremacy’ and ‘Supremacy Sports’ add-ons, which enabled users to access that content via a group he set up and managed on Facebook, in which thousands of members were given instructions and support with use of the add-ons. Mr Millington also created multiple YouTube videos which helped users install the software and add-ons and demonstrated the ability of his ‘build’ to enable the viewing of subscription television and film content."

And

"A UK man who ran an operation offering illegal access to Premier League football has been jailed for 16 months.

Mr Paul Faulkner appeared in front of Liverpool Crown Court on Tuesday 6 July after pleading guilty to multiple copyright and fraud offences, including accessing pirate content for his own use.

Mr Faulkner was the operator of subscription-based IPTV service TV Solutions, a pirate streaming service that offered illegal access to sports and entertainment broadcast content, including live Premier League matches and Sky channels.

Mr Faulkner pleaded guilty to both the unlawful supply of content and his own use of the service to view content he should have been paying to watch. The judge recognised that Faulkner’s use of the unauthorised service was a distinct crime in itself. This was reflected in him receiving a separate sentence of four months’ imprisonment for using the service.

Despite the defendant selling access to his service on social media platforms as a secondary source of income, the judge made it clear this case was a sophisticated fraud carried out over a significant period of time, made more serious by the involvement of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)."

Punitive smackdown. I'm guessing there's no talk of fining the likes of YouTube and Facebook for enabling this business. Along with the banks for handling the money transfers and the streaming service for having slack security. No talk of restorative justice where the offenders explain how easy it was to run the scam.

TBF theses collars are the highest profile i.e. greediest miscreants but any way you slice it "the public good" was not given the slightest consideration. Whack-a-mole crime fighting serves only to sharpen the wits of the players below these two.

Could they even understand it?
