Very topically the MMC TPN ran its first half-day courses on Content Protection at Savoy Place yesterday, and the very same day there was a full-length article in the Guardian on the problems being posed to the Premier League by content streaming, mainly onto boxes running Kodi media software plus the extensions to provide access to illegal streaming sites!  https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/mar/29/premier-league-illegal-streaming-tv-audiences


What do people think about the current state of media piracy and the various countermeasures (not to say whack-a-mole) being deployed in an attempt to limit it?  Perhaps we could start a discussion in the relevant part of the MMC area if there is enough interest?
