EUIPO Urges Sports Fans to Play Fair By Streaming Legally

"On "06/08/2024", the "European Consumer Centre Network (ECC-Net)" issued an update regarding "EUIPO Urges Sports Fans to Play Fair By Streaming Legally". The European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) initiated a campaign to raise awareness about illegal sports streaming's negative impact on the sports industry and consumers. EUIPO's efforts are supported by the ECC-Net, highlighting the importance of legal broadcasting channels and streaming platforms. Illegal streaming poses risks to consumers, including malware, phishing, and personal data theft, while depriving athletes and organisations of funding from broadcasting rights. To address this, EUIPO developed agorateka, a platform providing accessible and legitimate options for digital content, including sports events."
