The Chilean telecom regulator Subtel has ordered eight ISPs to block 1,954 URLs associated with unlicensed IPTV services, including MagisTV and FlujoTV, following a court ruling. The enforcement action is framed as a measure to protect consumers from data theft and cybercrime associated with pirate applications.
This enforcement marks a transition from passive copyright protection to active cybersecurity defense, as Subtel frames unlicensed streaming as a direct threat to consumer financial data. By mandating that eight major ISPs act within five days of notification, Chile is establishing a rapid-response framework for digital rights management that bypasses lengthy administrative delays. For the broader streaming ecosystem, this sets a precedent for using DNS-level blocking to protect legitimate pay-TV providers who face competition from an estimated 1 million pirate subscriptions in the region. Watch for whether these ISPs face legal challenges similar to those brought by the online betting industry against recent DNS blocks.
