Police Website Offers Pirated Live Sports Streams as IPTV FOIA Requests Denied
In January 2024, two UK regional police forces declined Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests seeking data on cautions, penalty notices, and arrests related to illegal streaming, citing the high cost of manual data retrieval. Simultaneously, a third police force’s website was found to inadvertently host pirated live sports streams, highlighting potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities. This situation underscores the complexities in enforcing anti-piracy laws and the challenges authorities face in managing digital content. (TorrentFreak)
