Sky Ireland sends 200+ IPTV cease-and-desist letters
Sky Ireland has issued over 200 cease-and-desist letters to individuals in Ireland who were illicitly subscribing to IPTV services, with their details obtained through a prior IPTV crackdown and Revolut payment information. This action signifies an ongoing effort to combat unauthorized streaming and subscription fraud within the Irish market.
Key Takeaways
- More than 200 IPTV subscribers in Ireland received cease-and-desist letters from Sky Ireland.
- The recipients were identified during an earlier IPTV crackdown.
- Revolut payment information was used to help expose the subscribers.
Why It Matters
Sky Ireland is turning an earlier IPTV crackdown into direct enforcement against end users, not just service operators. The use of Revolut payment information shows how subscription fraud can be traced through transaction data, which matters for any streaming business trying to police unauthorized access. For the wider ecosystem, this is another sign that anti-piracy work can move from site takedowns to subscriber identification and legal notices. What to watch next is whether Sky discloses any follow-on actions beyond these 200-plus letters.
