Twitch and other big have just joined their crusade

LaLiga announced on Wednesday through a press release the signing of new collaboration agreements with Twitch, Vercel, Scaleway and Gcore. The objective is clear: deactivate any illegal activity detected in their respective technological infrastructure. These alliances reinforce an already active strategy with CDN77 and Akamai, actors with which the organization had been working on this same line.

Reinforcement of its antipiratría strategy. In recent months, LaLiga has intensified His fight against unauthorized retransmission of parties. One of the methods used has been the blockade of IP addresses, a measure that, sometimes, has generated controversy by also affect services outside the illegal activity that is intended to combat.

The new agreements go in the same address: the companies involved must act rapidly before any illegal issuance detected. The fixed commitment establishes an average response period of 15 minutes from the notification, although from LaLiga they ensure that the objective is to reduce that margin as much as possible to limit to the minimum the dissemination of the content in unofficial channels.

No collateral damage. The organization also wants to prevent situations such as those mentioned above, in which indiscriminate blockages that affected legitimate services were produced. The goal is now to achieve a more precise intervention, which acts directly on illegal emission spotlights without generating side effects.

Commitment to the audiovisual industry. From LaLiga they explain that these agreements are framed within effective programs for the protection of intellectual property rights. The signatory companies, they point out, demonstrate “a firm commitment to the audiovisual industry and with their own clients to offer them an experience that minimizes possible impacts, without giving up the protection of intellectual property, to security and the privacy of user data.”

A technological ecosystem involved. Twitch, the well -known streaming platform owned by Amazon; Vercel, specialized in display of web applications; Scaleway, European cloud services provider; and Gcore, multinational that offers computing solutions, Edge Computing, CDN, accommodation and safety, add to this technological offensive.

Together with CDN77 and Akamai, they form a diverse but aligned ecosystem with a common goal: to combat the illegal distribution of sports content through collaboration with technological intermediaries. We will have to wait to know if this movement will give the expected results.
