Brazil’s telecoms regulator Anatel claims that during an operation last week, it successfully blocked around 80% of pirate ‘TV boxes’ in the country. Estimates from early 2023 suggest that seven million were active in Brazil. The operation, claimed to be the most significant ever carried out, arrives just weeks after Google & Cisco were criticized for “turning a blind eye” to the IPTV piracy problem.

      Yeah but those will get pirated content either way. The problem is the 80% that won’t be able to do it as just trash the boxes.
