Is TStv Actually Pirating beIN Contents? Company Replies.

Is TStv real? Are they actually pirating contents from beIN by broadcasting some beIN channels? Are they guilty of the allegation being leveled on them by some individuals that claimed to be from beIN? Well, here is all I know about the recent saga that want to spoil our mood.

Yesterday, some people composed a letter on-behalf of beIN to TStv for intellectual property infringement. The letter stated that TStv has no right to advertise or use any channel from beIN. This means most of the sports channels will not be available if this is true. Read the excerpt of the letter below;

ILLEGAL PIRATING OF BEIN CONTENT

CEASE & DESIST


Dear Sir,
I am writing on behalf of beIN - a global sports and entertainment group, headquartered in Qatar. As you would be aware, beIN provides a subscription television service to more than 50 million customers worldwide. beIN's broadcast territories include the middle East & North Africa, France, united States and Canada, South East Asia, Australia & New Zealand.

beIN is the exclusive license of the broadcast rights to many of the world's major international sporting leagues and other entertainment content in our various territories. We also produce and own the copyright in our content. (Together, "beIN Content")

beIN invests substantial sums in acquiring those rights , which are highly valuable. Other parties are not permitted to copy and re-broadcast beIN Content without express authorization.

beIN is also the owner of trademark and other rights in the name "beIN" and associated branding ("beIN Trademarks"). Other parties are not permitted to use beIN Trademarks without express authorization.

Intellectual Property Infringement by TStv
We have become aware that your company TStv intends to launch a pay television service to subscribers in Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa generally. Information about this service is contained on the website at http://tstvafrica.com.

the below image was taken from your website, which indicates that you intend to make beIN channels available.

Meanwhile, TStv quickly responded with this reply below;
DISCLAIMER!!
We are not unaware of the messages circulating the social media regarding letters from Bein Sports and Turner respectively. We wish to inform Nigerians once again that the letters being circulated are FAKE. They were designed primarily to bias Nigerians. Kindly disregard the said frivolous letters.
TStv Africa...connecting your world!


Are you thinking what I am also thinking? Chai! All our enemies in life will fail. I hope this isn't true because I have accepted and embraced TStv with all arms, advertising their products for free.

Let's wait and see when the decoder finally goes live, only then we will check if beIN sports channels are there.

  24. After going through all the comments i can say with all amounts of certainty that so many are not into satellite installations.

    Let's look at the case of METRO DIGITAL IN PORT HARCOURT , the said company is currently airing all live matches via beIN channels.

    THE question now is, why hasn't that company been sued?

    ReplyDelete
  25. The truth of the matter is that TSTV is the cause of all these media speculations.

    Why am I saying so is that they should have carried out a test transmission of their channels without encryption keys so that the end users can then confirm all claims raised by TSTV.

    ReplyDelete
  26. After days of their launching they are yet to commence sales of their decoders and there is no dealer that has taken stock of their boxes and its accessories.

    Based on the above, who won't be speculating?

    ReplyDelete
  27. It has already been stated by TSTV that any news item found online which hasn't been posted on either their website or social media handles shouldn't be taken serious.

    Let's just wait and see as the event unfolds.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Tstv publicly denied this and even further claimed that they went with Federal government’s emissaries to sign a “non-disclosed” agreement with Bein to beam their content. As usual, we will know who is right or wrong someday.
