After requesting the blocking of pirated IPTV services, a conglomerate of independent film studios in the United States filed a lawsuit against four private network services, the famous VPNs. Companies report that such private network services have been used to circumvent blocking and other restrictive measures to consume illegal content. The action of the studios is one more of the claims in the fight against piracy.

Illegal IPTV platforms can be accessed with VPN
Whenever a pirated service stands out on the internet, the studios, producers and operators that legally hold the rights to these contents file a request for blocking with the competent authorities. Sometimes this block is permanent and the system is blocked anywhere in the world. But in many cases, the platform that violates copyright is blocked only in certain regions.
To get around this situation, users have used VPN services that "cheat" the local system by masking your device with an IP from private networks in other regions of the world. It is not difficult to find tutorials on the internet from people who teach how to use these services to access prohibited content, as is the case with Netflix.
In the lawsuit, the media companies also claim that some VPN services even have "partnerships" with piracy sites to promote their services. In this way, users can share files via torrent that involve illegal content, such as racist and even child pornography.
Piracy is a crime!
Accused of violating copyright, VPN services may be required to pay fine for alleged damages, And close subscriber accounts who have been notified of this violation. So far, the accused companies have not issued any official response.
Piracy is not a recent problem. From an early age, we heard about the street vendors who sell those expensive sneakers for less, or that movie that is still in the cinema and in the stall is cheap. With the advancement of technology, piracy became more common in entertainment services, such as the famous "sky gato" and "gato net".
Agencies such as Anatel, Receita Federal and others, have focused on actions to decimate piracy in Spain. In addition to the various inspections that are carried out on vehicles that come from Paraguay, the Telecommunications Agency can create a tool that can eliminate pirated IPTV services more quickly. Even so, the problem is far from over, and not just in our country.
