Protect the Game: Why Fighting Piracy Matters
MultiChoice Ghana and SuperSport are warning about the serious impact of sports piracy in Africa. Pirated streams may appear harmless, but they steal vital revenue from broadcasters, leagues, athletes, and production crews—jeopardizing jobs and investment in local sports . To combat this threat, MultiChoice partners with Irdeto for AI-driven real-time detection and takedowns, while cooperating globally with Interpol, Europol, and Homeland Security to dismantle illegal streaming networks . Social media oversight removed over 4,000 unauthorized clips last year, preventing billions of illegal views . Additionally, consumer education campaigns inform fans of piracy risks like malware and identity theft, urging reports of illegal streams . Supporting legal platforms like SuperSport on DStv, GOtv, and Showmax ensures reliable, high-quality access to major events like football, rugby, motorsports, boxing, and athletics—all while protecting the future of sport .
