Over 100 domains linked to piracy shut down

Illegal streaming sites raise scam risk by 3.5 times.

The High Court has ordered to block 26 illegal streaming sites and more than a hundred associated domains in Singapore.

The decision follows a similar order obtained by the Premier League last March to block sites used for illegal streaming.

Citing data from a recent study by Cyberstronomy, the Coalition Against Piracy (CAP) said there's a 48% chance that consumers will encounter cyber threats on the top 25 pirate sports streaming sites in Singapore.

CAP added that there is a 3.5 times greater chance of consumers being scammed when visiting these sites compared to when visiting mainstream sites.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
