Sky Sends Cease-and-Desist Letters to 200 Irish IPTV Subscribers Exposed via Revolut
### The “Cease and Desist” Wave
If you live in Ireland and enjoy a shady IPTV subscription, you might want to check your mailboxâand maybe your heart rate.
Sky Ireland has officially begun sending cease-and-desist letters to roughly 200 subscribers of the now-defunct âIPTV is Easyâ service. This isn’t just a friendly nudge to cancel your subscription; Sky is leveraging data uncovered from Revolut records during a massive legal battle against the service’s operator to hunt down individual users.
The goal here isn’t immediate courtroom drama, but rather pure, unadulterated intimidation. The letters demand that recipients sign a legally binding settlement within 14 days, promising to ditch illegal services forever. If you comply, Sky promises not to name you publicly. If you don’t? Theyâve hinted at injunctions, damages, and legal costs.
Itâs a clever “soft” strategy:
- The Carrot: Sign the paper, stay out of the spotlight, and keep your name off a public list.
- The Stick: Refuse to sign, and face potential civil litigation or even criminal charges.
While Sky isn’t demanding massive cash payouts like they have in Italy, they are effectively putting these users on a permanent “watchlist.” Itâs a bold attempt at deterrenceâlet’s see if it actually scares anyone away from the pirate stream.
