Football has been working to eliminate piracy for many years now.Piracy kills football” is the slogan of the Lega Serie A, but the “pezzotto” unfortunately continues to be widespread. An exemplary punishment for the fight against piracy arrived today.
Exemplary punishment: 5 years in prison for piracy
The announcement came a short while ago directly from the top league. The news really hit the fans.
The fan advertised his service on Facebook and through word of mouth, offering illegal services on Firestick devices in exchange for cash payments to his home.
The fan in question, according to calcioefinanza, is called Edge, is 29 years old and is from Liverpool. Edge admitted guilt to three offences under the Fraud Act and was remanded in custody at the end of October. The sentence was handed down today at Liverpool Crown Court. Personal use of this unauthorised service was also considered an offence. Edge ignored several warnings to cease this activity, an aggravating factor that the judge took into account in the sentence. These are the words of Kevin Plumb, General Counsel of the Premier League: «The severe sentence handed down to this individual underlines once again the gravity of his actions. We will continue to take legal action against those who provide unauthorised access to Premier League football, regardless of the scale or manner of the operation. Ignoring warnings to stop has only made the consequences worse.».
