Malaysia court rules sale of illicit streaming devices as copyright infringement

Malaysia court rules sale of illicit streaming devices as copyright infringement
Details
25 May 2021
The Intellectual Property High Court in Kuala Lumpur has declared that the sale, offer for sale, distribution and/or supply of TV boxes or illicit streaming devices (ISDs) that can provide unauthorised access to copyrighted works, constitutes copyright infringement under the Copyright Act 1987. The action in the Intellectual Property High Court was brought by Measat Broadcast Networks, Astro's service provider, against a seller of ISDs preloaded with applications that act as gateways to websites or content servers streaming pirated content.
Astro lauded the High Court's judgement as "a bold step in the right direction against piracy in Malaysia". Its director, regulatory Laila Saat said the judgement sets a precedent for future civil claims on copyright infringement against ISD sellers in the market, including those on eCommerce platforms. Shopee Malaysia, for example, clarified last August that it has no part in creating the contents of listings and that the sellers on its platform are independent individuals or businesses who are not associated with Shopee. This comes after FINAS was reported by Astro AWANI to be investigating the sale of pirated local films on eCommerce platforms.

Sale of Pirate Streaming Devices Declared Illegal By Malaysia IP High Court * TorrentFreak

>
Malaysia's Intellectual Property High Court has ruled that the sale and distribution of streaming devices configured for piracy purposes constitutes infringement under the Copyright Act. The decision comes a year after Malaysia informed the United States Patent and Trademark Office that pirate set-top devices were a "serious problem" in the country.
Hoping to reduced the online availability of pirated content in the country, in 2019 the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry said they had blocked 246 sites.
The aim of the blocking was to reduce the usefulness of set-top boxes that are configured to provide access to copyrighted material. Running parallel, Malaysia deployed a secondary tactic to prevent the spread of Android-based devices by demanding that importers and distributors submit samples to ensure they meet quality assurance standards.

Alongside the satellite pay-TV operator and content producer, other organisations that have supported the statement include Star Media Group, Artistes Association of Malaysia (SENIMAN), and the Malaysian Film Producers Association (PFM). In general, they have collectively claimed that the current penalty isn’t proportionate to the huge economic losses suffered by content providers.
The statement said that the annual loss due to digital piracy is estimated to be at RM3 billion to the entertainment and media industry, including RM500 million in lost taxes. Zahrin Aris, Honorary Secretary of Persatuan Penerbit Filem (PFM), said that the penalty for using media boxes with “unauthorised” apps is too light, saying that the value of the content being pirated is “definitely higher” than the current RM30,000 fine.
