Kodi Premier League streams BLOCKED as season kicks off - leaving would-be pirates with blank screens
Bosses at the organisation have enforced a High Court ban on illegal streaming to help protect Sky and BT Sport

As the Premier League kicked off for a new season last weekend, bosses launched a fresh round of actions to combat illegal streaming of the games.

to force internet service providers (ISPs) to shut down servers broadcasting illegal streams of the matches, the organisation didn't hesitate to enforce it.

Within minutes of the games starting on Saturday, many viewers were met with nothing but blank screens as they tried to access the games over the likes of Kodi and Mobdro.

reports that even viewers not interested in football found their content blocked, as the sweeping ban took out entire IP addresses broadcasting streams.

"TF is aware of at least three services (there are probably many more) that couldn’t service their UK customers with any other channels whatsoever while the Premier League games were being aired," the site reported.

"This suggests that the IP addresses hit by the EPL and blocked by local ISPs belonged to the same servers carrying the rest of the content offered by the IPTV providers."

Bosses at the Premier League are working to protect the £5.1 billion broadcasting rights paid by Sky and BT Sport, both of which offer subscription packages for fans who want to watch the matches.



“This blocking Order is a game-changer in our efforts to tackle the supply and use of illicit streams of our content," said Kevin Plumb, the Premier League's director of legal services.

“It will allow us to quickly and effectively block and disrupt the illegal broadcast of Premier League football via any means, including so called ‘pre-loaded Kodi boxes’.

“The protection of our copyright, and the investment made by our broadcast partners, is hugely important to the Premier League and the future health of English football."

Kodi is a free, content-neutral platform that has

. However, because of its ease of use it has become a major source of copyright infringement.



Shady dealers are installing the software onto stock Android devices and pre-loading it with illegal streams before selling them on to punters - sometimes for as much as £100 each.

A man was recently arrested in Westminster and police acquired 40 such "Kodi boxes" in a raid on his property.

Many people choose this route to avoid paying out for costly packages - such as the monthly £49.50 for Sky's cheapest sports subscription.

Not implemented by all ISPs at all from what I have read elsewhere nor has it had any effect on streams because, as usual, there are easy work arounds to be had if people are a bit savvy & know where to look.

I can foresee people begin to leave the big ISP's in favour of the 'independents' who are not paid by the big corporates to do their bidding.

Providing a 'bundesliga' type PPV service at 3PM on Saturdays would mostly kill these streams overnight.

Also the likes of sty tv truly offered a Sport only service "IN HD" at a reasonable price without having to pay for all their other crap then I believe the whole piracy issue might well disappear completely.

This is what annoys me, they do not even show 3pm games, yet trying to block it.

Plus iFollow for lower leagues you ca sign up for £110 a year if you team subbed to it, but again OUTSIDE of UK, in which people just VPN to outside uk, then get it,

 

[danny187]

Be great if Sky offered 3pm games as a pass, to be streamed/or via satelite, but doubt we will ever see that

 

[Banny]

and all ISP's have to keep on file at least the last 12 months of browsing history (I know this isn't a new thing), but does mean that people could be reprimanded way after the 'event'.

its stupid that the law that prevents the broadcast of football games at 3pm is still around.

Thing is, if you look deeper, its not really a LAW, its more like a gentlemans handshake made many years ago.

NBC has all the games anyways, couple via cable/direct tv and few via their new NBC sports GOLD if in USA of course lol

 

[Banny]

I found the link myself, and didn't intend it as a scaremongering thing.

My personal opinion is that, pirating, downloading/streaming and the same still has darker times to come or an action that has repercussions for us all... The media companies are being given almost all the power they are asking for and so is the Premier League...

Governments are still in debt on shoe string budgets... Im not saying jail but I don't think its totally outside the realms of possible that at some point all 'offenders' are issued with a fine of some description.

The purpose of the link and my post was merely to point out that that information is recorded and for people to put necessary safeguards in place...

 

[danny187]

Yeah I know, i was just saying in general, i.e one show said 10 years in jail maybe for users lmao, then social media, will I get 10 years.....no.

I thought it was common knowledge that most stuff we do online is recorded tbh, we live in a big brother state where cant take a sheet without government wanting to know hahaha.

Yeah, I been trialing my router and run a VPN via it now for UK server, then at weekend will switch to USA, then back to UK.

OpenVPN protocol, dnsleak tests etc.

Am I paranoid now, as quite easy turn off as only ever used if and when needed, but router runs sweet so far with it on, so makes sense to use it.

 

[Banny]

Thing is, if you look deeper, its not really a LAW, its more like a gentlemans handshake made many years ago.

A way to get more people to come to the games, although to be fair how many 3PM games could they broadcast back then... Even if one was on every channel that was on Air you could count the amount of effected games on one hand.

I thought it was common knowledge that most stuff we do online is recorded tbh, we live in a big brother state where cant take a sheet without government wanting to know hahaha.

To most people who visit this site probably, but its surprising how many people don't realise or get Kodi/IPTV Devices without any understanding of how it works... As long as they can watch xxxx whatever is the flavor of the month tv show in their household

Oh I know mate, most don't know how it all works, been around it a long while, and many spend money without even knowing what they getting or what it is lol.

I think its all going pete tong with IPTV kodi for the amount of stuff seen on the net about selling them boxs with kodi ect ect, its all got well out of hand & can anyone really blame the providers for blocking it, i dont think so somehow.
The Providers do take the pee out of clients with the amount they charge to watch the sports, but thats how they make money and will never drop prices even if they had millions of clients, its all about money and how fat they can get.
