    KODI/IPTV crackdown

    It's reported that police in the north of England are sending out 'cease and desist' letters about using IPTV illegally.

    Have any of you or a friend received such a warning letter?

    R.E. UNLAWFUL MEDIA STREAMING

    This email is intended as notification that Lancashire’s Economic Crime Unit and Lancashire Cyber Crime Unit Cyber Crime Unit are aware of your households use of an illegal TV streaming service, namely through a provider known as ‘IPTV’.

    By providing this illegal service, the operators of IPTV have committed criminal offences contrary to the Serious Crime Act, the Proceeds of Crime Act and the Copyright Designs and Patents Act, these are serious offences which carry a maximum sentence of 14 years’ imprisonment.

    Persons whom subscribe to services like the service provided by IPTV also commit a criminal offence contrary to s.11 of the Fraud Act which carries a maximum sentence of up to five years imprisonment, and/or a fine, and consequently results in a criminal record.

    We are aware that you/members of your household have been subscribing to this illegal service. We were able to identify this through the email address associated to the IPTV account.

    This email is NOT notification of current Police action or the beginning of an investigation against you. Neither is it the commencement of legal proceedings or a criminal prosecution against you at this time. This email is a formal cease and desist notice, requiring you to cease the streaming of this illegal service which has constituted an offence. However, subscribers shall be monitored and the police reserve the right to proceed to investigation and prosecution should you ignore the contents of this email.

    If this type of unlawful activity continues then you will receive no further warnings before criminal enforcement is taken. This email should therefore not be read as precluding enforcement if you fail to heed this cease and desist email. The fact that this email was sent to you could also be cited in future criminal proceedings.
