On Februar 13, 2020 in Katowice Regional Police Headquarters we completed the nationwide programme of trainings addressed to the police and prosecutors called “piractwo.tv” (piractwo means piracy).
Based on the cooperation with the Polish National Police Sygnal Association conducted nationwide trainings on the online theft of Intellectual Property Rights and TV signal. During the training the Polish Police officers and Prosecutors became familiar with activities of illegal streaming’s services and learnt about the specific characteristics of a crime called “card sharing” i.e. an illegal sharing of the legitimate conditional access of subscriber’s digital TV smart card’s output data. Besides, the participants became aware of the IPTV services and how to reach out to offenders in pirates’ cases based on the “follow the money” approach.
Each participant received a brochure “Kradzież treści TV w Internecie. Metodyka postępowania” (Online Content Theft. Investigative Methodology. ”created by Signal first and foremost to support the law enforcement officers.
