This Wednesday, Javier Tebas gave a speech in Miami, United States, within the framework of the “Intellectual Property Summit”. The president of LaLiga issued some controversial statements with the intention of measure the severity of piracy.
The leader explained that some crimes have been treated more harshly than others on the internet. Javier Tebas explained that Piracy and theft of sports signals is very normalizedinstead of other more serious crimes, but in which they have taken action on the matter.
“If you go to Google and type ‘I want to buy cocaine’ or ‘sex children’ nothing appears. But if you put ‘free soccer sport’ does appear. Some are more serious crimes, but with others like this one, which iss stealing, you are not doing the same“said the leader in statements compiled by Brand.
Under these circumstances, the spread of tournaments will be worth less and less money. The business behind television stations and digital platforms loses economic profitability with lto constant appearance of piracy. Obviously this generates losses for LaLiga as a product and Thebes doesn’t agree with that.
“We are the ones who have to lead this fight because if they are stealing your product it will be worth much less later. For more than eleven years we have been leading a very clear piracy project from the technological and legal field. “We are the ones who know the most about what is happening with piracy,” he added.
Wars with WhatsApp, Telegram and other applications
The president of LaLiga also spoke about some of the most popular social networks today. Javier Tebas indicated that many of these are alternative media in which These links to pirated products are continually shared.
“On Telegram and Discord there are groups of 50 and 60 thousand people, of all languages, with the ‘links’ to view illegal content. In Spain they were going to ban Telegram for piracy, in the end the judge who was willing to do it backed down. They and Discord are giving a lot of information on how you can get this content,” he explained.
In this sense, Javier Tebas also stated that They will go to the technology developer Meta to put the piracy case on the table in WhatsApp groups and communities.
“We will also go for Meta because in WhatsApp communities it is also happening and they are not collaborating to help clarify it,” he concluded.
