Sky targets 200 suspected illegal IPTV users in Ireland
Sky has sent cease-and-desist letters to 200 individuals in Ireland suspected of using illegal IPTV streaming boxes. This action follows a March High Court order for Revolut to disclose details of users who paid for such illicit services.
Key Takeaways
- Sky has sent letters to 200 suspected users in Ireland.
- The users are alleged to have used illegal IPTV streaming boxes.
- In March, the High Court ordered Revolut to disclose details of people who paid for illegal IPTV subscriptions through its platform.
Why It Matters
This is a direct enforcement step against suspected IPTV piracy users, not just the operators behind the service. It also shows payment data can become part of the legal trail: the March High Court order to Revolut preceded Sky’s letters by two months. For the streaming ecosystem, the case highlights how rights holders may combine court orders and payment-platform disclosure to identify end users. The next concrete signal is whether Sky expands beyond the 200 letters or whether more disclosure orders follow in Ireland.
