CONSUMERS CAN LOSE BIG FROM DIGITAL PIRACY

CYBERJAYA, Sept 7 (Bernama) -- As an organization that focuses on consumers’ rights, the Communications and Multimedia Consumer Forum of Malaysia (CFM) urged consumers to be more vigilant against the dangers of digital piracy that can affect them.

Consumers get involved in digital piracy once they sign up to subscriptions that are provided by unlicensed service providers. These subscriptions are either in the form of illegal streaming services or unlicensed satellite television services. Although accessing illegal digital content may be convenient, cheap, or even free, it is not without risks and consumers are strongly advised not to be on the wrong side of the law by subscribing to unauthorized services.

According to local news reports in April this year, police have detained several people believed to be members of a syndicate offering illegal satellite television services. The syndicate had been operating since 2015, involving over 30,000 customers nationwide.
