\"laligaThe United Arab Emirates (UAE<\/a>) is rapidly expanding its population, mostly through migrant workers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The country, where Dubai is the most populous city, presents itself as a region where people from all over the world can do business and find entertainment. <\/p>\n

UAE Pirates<\/h2>\n

The region appears to be a magnet for the rich and famous, but it\u2019s not all fun and games. As it turns out, some people in the UAE are enjoying entertainment without paying for it; through pirate streaming sites or IPTV devices. <\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the IIPA<\/a>, a coalition of major rightsholder groups, stressed that the UAE Government should help to deter IPTV piracy. For example, by promoting website blocking and anti-piracy interventions by domain registrars and other intermediaries.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government has an important role to play in promoting piracy prevention efforts and needs to encourage ISPs to restrict access to illegal Internet protocol TV (IPTV) services and intermediaries that facilitate the operation of such services,\u201d IIPA wrote. <\/p>\n

LaLiga and UAE launch Anti-Piracy Lab<\/h2>\n

These piracy activities haven\u2019t gone unnoticed by major sports rightsholders either. This prompted Spanish football league, LaLiga<\/a>, to team up with local authorities to collaborate on this front. LaLiga has been operating a dedicated office in the UAE for ten years, so connections were already in place.<\/p>\n

The discussions eventually resulted in a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that was announced to the public this week. At an event hosted in the Emirates, LaLiga President Javier Tebas Medrano signed the agreement with representatives from the UAE\u2019s Ministry of Economy. <\/p>\n

LaLiga and UAE are committed to launch<\/a> an \u2018anti-piracy laboratory\u2019 with the specific aim of tackling online piracy, including sports streaming. Details of the agreement are noticeably absent, but according to LaLiga\u2019s president, it\u2019s a big deal. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe have more than 10 years of experience in the fight against piracy across the world. This agreement is historic and unique. We\u2019re not just defending LALIGA, but also many other sports and audiovisual properties. We have to defend the entire industry,\u201d Medrano says. <\/p>\n

Pirate Site-Blocking And More<\/h2>\n

The UAE also highlighted the agreement separately, while adding more context. According to the Ministry of Justice, the new lab will focus on website blocking and the development of technical anti-piracy tools. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ministry of Economy signed a MoU with LaLiga to launch a project to establish an \u2018Anti-Piracy Lab\u2019 aimed at blocking pirate websites that infringe on intellectual property rights, copyright, and creative content in the UAE,\u201d the Ministry writes<\/a> on X. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"laliga\"<\/center><\/p>\n

TorrentFreak reached out to LaLiga yesterday, requesting additional information on the anti-piracy laboratory, but we have yet to hear back. If anything comes in later, we will update this article accordingly. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s clear, however, that LaLiga and UAE are determined to hinder online pirates and IPTV services. These measures are unlikely to hurt the wealthy in the country, who can pay for legitimate access. However, the UAE\u2019s population is largely made up of low-wage, migrant workers, who are more likely to be affected. <\/p>\n
