Illegal TV providers are becoming increasingly brazen. Through advertisements on Facebook and Instagram, one party has begun to present itself as a legal alternative, offering large numbers of live channels, movies, and series for a small sum. In fact, this provider has no licenses and is not paid a single cent to licensees.

Ignorance among consumers
Niels Bass, director of NLZiet, pointed out last week that many consumers do not realize that they are financing criminal organizations by using these services. “A lot of people don’t realize that by looking at these cheap alternatives they are supporting illegal activities,” Bass said.

Communicating and selling via social media
These illegal providers are communicated and sold via Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp, among others. 06 numbers are used from countries where copyright legislation is not or is barely enforced, such as Libya, Panama, Costa Rica and Ukraine.

Misleading messages
Illegitimate providers report via Messenger that they are not violating any rules. An example of this message from the provider: “I agree with you: there are many illegal services on the market and it is important to know that the use of illegal services can not only have legal consequences, but may also lead to a sudden interruption of the service.
