Jonathan Edge was sentenced to 3 years and 4 months in prison after admitting three offences under the Fraud Act
A Liverpool man has been jailed for three years and four months after admitting to operating an unlawful "Firestick" streaming service. Jonathan Edge, 29, received the hefty sentence upon pleading guilty to three counts under the Fraud Act.
Edge promoted his services on Facebook and through word-of-mouth, conducting the illicit operation from his home where he loaded content onto Firestick devices in exchange for payment. The Premier League's crackdown extends beyond individuals to include shops, bars, and restaurants, aiming to stem the tide of unauthorised game broadcasts.
He further warned that the consequences of illegal TV streaming are serious, and this case should serve as a warning about the gravity with which copyright infringement is regarded. The Premier League employs advanced anti-piracy technology to identify and shut down illegal streams. He continued, "We will continue to pursue legal action against those supplying unauthorised access to Premier League football, regardless of the scale or mode of operation. Ignoring warnings to stop only served to make the consequences worse for the individual."
