SportsPro OTT Summit 2022 beIN Friend MTS fireside chat video: Building a comprehensive anti-piracy strategy for a sports broadcaster

Headquartered in Qatar, beIN Sports, the official broadcaster for the FIFA World Cup 2022, had been quite busy in the run-up to the most anticipated football event globally, so we were really grateful to Cameron Andrews, Legal Director at beIN for taking the time to speak to Simon Hanna, Regional Vice President, EMEA at Friend MTS at the SportsPro OTT event in Madrid this November. After all, as Cameron put it “World Cup always brings a new set of piracy challenges and really brings piracy to a head”.

Watch the recording of this informative session to learn

• what the key piracy challenges for beIN in the MENA region post the beoutQ story are;
• how the broadcaster has been dealing with these challenges and if the company has been successful;
• what lessons new OTT platforms can learn from beIN in terms of content security and anti-piracy.

Anti-piracy is a constant game of disruption that, from beIN’s experience, can be very effective and lead to measurable growth in subscriber revenue, so watch the video to hear about beIN content protection and anti-piracy successes.
