In a recent ruling, the Colombian National Copyright Directorate sanctioned the distributors of the renowned illegal streaming platform, Magis TV. The distributors were fined over USD 15,000 and prohibited from ever distributing any content associated with the platform.
The decision also orders internet and TV service providers in the country to permanently block access to all IP addresses and URLs associated with Magis TV.
The Attorney General’s Office also highlighted the importance of the decision, as it has reported in the past that using said platform poses a significant risk of exposing users’ personal data.
This measure sets an important precedent in the fight against digital piracy in the region. It also ensures the protection of copyright law while safeguarding the personal information of consumers who used this service.
