In recent years, copyright holders have paid close attention to a growing number of large piracy services with connections to Vietnam.<\/p>\nIn recent years, copyright holders have paid close attention to a growing number of large piracy services with connections to Vietnam.<\/p>\n
Popular brands including Fmovies, AniWave, 123movies, BestBuyIPTV, 2embed, and Y2mate are all linked to the Asian country, which was recently branded a \u2018piracy haven\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n To curb this trend, western rightsholders have been working with local authorities to bring local investigations and enforcement efforts up to par. While this process takes time, there was a breakthrough last week.<\/p>\n The People\u2019s Court of Hanoi handed BestBuyIPTV operator Le Hai Nam a 30-month suspended prison sentence. In addition, the man must pay the equivalent of $4,000 in local currency, after having paid $12,000 in restitution previously.<\/p>\n BestBuyIPTV is known as one of the most popular IPTV services. The subscription platform has been repeatedly called out as a notorious piracy market by the US Trade Representative, as recently as this year.<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n The defendant reportedly pleaded guilty to his role in the BestBuyIPTV operation. While a copy of the verdict is not immediately available, a release shared by rightsholders attributed the following quote to the Hanoi court Judge.<\/p>\n \u201cThe defendant has violated the provisions of the law which protect the copyright and related rights of the Motion Picture Association\u2019s members and the English Premier League,\u201d Judge Le Hai Yen said. <\/p>\n According to the Judge, these types of crimes are a danger to society and should be strictly enforced and prosecuted, to send a deterrent to other operators of pirate sites and services. <\/p>\n The prosecution follows referrals from the Premier League<\/a> and Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE<\/a>), who note that this is the first-ever online piracy conviction in Vietnam. <\/p>\n The rightsholders see last week\u2019s conviction as an important milestone that will set a precedent in Vietnam. It\u2019s a clear signal that online pirate sites and services won\u2019t be tolerated, they say. <\/p>\n \u201cThis result should serve as a stark warning to anyone involved in the illegal supply of Premier League streams in Vietnam. It is the result of a strong partnership between the Vietnamese authorities and local law enforcement, ACE and the Premier League,\u201d says Kevin Plumb, Premier League\u2019s General Counsel.<\/p>\n Karyn Temple, MPA\u2019s Senior Executive Vice President, shares this view and hopes that the Vietnamese authorities will move onto other high profile targets next, which could include the popular streaming site Fmovies<\/a>. <\/p>\n \u201cWe eagerly await similar action from Vietnamese law enforcement on other longstanding priority targets engaged in digital piracy on a global scale,\u201d Temple notes, without explicitly naming any. <\/p>\n Interestingly, the BestBuyIPTV threat may not be completely dealt with yet. MPA previously called out<\/a> the \u2018Bestbuyiptv.biz\u2019 domain in relation to the popular service, which remains online today. <\/p>\n \u201cBestBuyIPTV is extremely popular in the United States & Europe,\u201d MPA wrote at the time, adding that \u201cthe operators are located in Vietnam.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n It\u2019s possible that other operators of the service managed the service online, which would put the conviction\u2019s deterrent effect in doubt. Or was the sentenced operator perhaps linked to another BestBuyIPTV service?<\/p>\n We have asked the MPA for clarification, as its press release makes no mention of this, and will update the article when an official response comes in.<\/p>\n From: TF<\/a>, for the latest news on copyright battles, piracy and more.<\/p>\nBestBuyIPTV Conviction<\/h2>\n
