Last October, on the occasion of the first classic of the season between OM and PSG, at the Vélodrome, more than one viewer and internet users in two went through illegal canals to follow the meeting. Obviously to the Dam of the Dazn broadcaster and the Professional Football League.
This Sunday, when the return is played out at the Parc des Princes between the two flagship teams of the French championship, the Audiovisual and Digital Communication Regulatory Authority (Arcom) and the Association for the Protection of Sports Program (APPS) have chosen to hit hard against hacking initiatives.
A special device for the classic
“” Our main objective is to make access to consumer as difficult for these illegal services as possible to discourage himinsists with the team Martin Ajdari, the president of Arch, which estimates at 300 million euros each year the piracy for the sports economy. We are in a gendarmes and thieves standard, with constant innovations to bypass the law. We know that the rules implemented will never be completely waterproof. »»
Via a massive investment in recent weeks, the Arcom has thus developed new tools to find and identify the illegal networks, with for this evening dedicated to the classic two saves of intervention planned before kick-off and before the half-time of the match. This season, Dazn has already faded on the table by reproaching the Professional Football League (LFP) for not doing enough in the fight against hacking. The message was obviously heard.
