Dish & Sling Sue ‘Pirate’ IPTV Operation For Circumventing Widevine DRM
In January 2024, DISH Network and Sling TV filed a lawsuit against a pirate IPTV operation, alleging unauthorized rebroadcasting of their channels and circumvention of Widevine DRM. The defendants, operating under names like “Channel Wala” and “Doordarshan,” sold set-top boxes through websites and Amazon stores, promoting free trials and subscriptions via stickers and flyers. Investigations revealed that these devices provided access to DISH and Sling channels without authorization. The lawsuit seeks damages and a permanent injunction to halt the operation.
