The Kenya Copyright Board (KECOBO) on Monday carried out coordinated enforcement operations in Nairobi targeting suspected piracy networks, arresting three individuals and confiscating broadcasting equipment believed to have been used to illegally distribute pay-TV content.
In the first raid, officers moved into Syvy Plaza in Pipeline, Embakasi, where they recovered a range of equipment including DStv decoders, signal amplifiers, splitters and cables.
According to KECOBO, the devices were being used to illegally intercept and redistribute premium television signals to multiple viewers without authorization. Three people were arrested at the site.
In a separate operation carried out at a Nairobi hotel, enforcement officers acted on complaints relating to suspected infringement of territorial broadcasting rights.
