France Mulls Instant IPTV Blocks, €750K Fines & New Piracy Crime of ‘Incitement’
Two senators have presented a bill to address what is now openly described as a crisis in French football. The draft envisions sweeping reform to tackle "structural" issues, including broadcasting rights and the ever-present threat from illegal streaming services. On the table, seven years in prison and a €750,000 fine for pirate IPTV suppliers operating as a group, three years and €300,000 for those not, and a new crime of inciting use of pirate IPTV services or software.
