Canadian ISPs Crack Down on Pirate IPTV with IP Address Logging
Originally Published 2 years ago — by TorrentFreak
Canadian ISPs have successfully blocked pirate IPTV services using a dynamic blocking approach, according to a report by IP lawyer David Lipkus and Jon Wilkins. The report found that the blocking was effective and delivered a measurable benefit for a low cost, with no legitimate complaints from individuals or businesses related to blocking. However, some ISPs monitored customer traffic and disclosed that information to third parties, raising privacy concerns. The report recommends that ISPs provide more data on user activity to determine if blocking is worthwhile and will make more money for plaintiffs.
