The BeStreamWise anti-piracy campaign, launched quietly just over a year ago, is stepping up its mission to deter illegal streaming activities. With influential partners like Sky, the Premier League, and the Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT), the campaign is aimed primarily at those using illegal IPTV services to watch live sports, particularly football.

It can be very hard to tell the difference between a pirate IPTV and a legit. Premiums are not a necessarily a factor because the lower costs most times feels like the correct cost for what you get.
I don’t think it’s difficult at all. There’s YouTube TV, HULU, FUBO, etc. they all charge a high fee because they are legit services and have a bunch of regulatory and other fees to pay that they pass on. Then you have the thousands of unverified services which if you find a hidden jewel you are golden.
@MarkxG Ah the Golden boy! LOL

Hey guys…I just loaded Kodi up with the four add ons that Troy talked about a few days ago (The Loop, DaddyLive, etc). I always use my Surfshark VPN but today, whenever I try to use my IPTV service in Kodi or my separate IPTV service, I am getting the Federal Anti Piracy warning, primarily when I try to watch the YES Network or an MLB Network channel. I also tried watching thru Sportsfire app and still get the same thing. This hasn’t happened the entire 5 years since I cut the cord. Now its happening. Any ideas what’s going on?

I tested on my iptv and YES worked. It didn’t work on sportsfire or streamfire. I got the same message you did. My vpn was on.
My guess is whatever service is providing that feed got hit with a notice.
Hopefully someone else can elaborate.
Also on Sportsfire, if you click down after the screen appears it gives you 3 options. Fanduel, YES and MLB. The MLB feed worked with the YES feed showing. The other 2 didnt work.
I also ran across that notice today using one of my all time favorite IPTV services. Weirdly, all of my favorites had vanished. Poof - gone. I decided to reload the favorites and they all went back in just fine. Something’s up and it does not smell good. I’m layin low and off the tube for a while while I build a fresh tinfoil hat…
