Singapore Court Orders Largest Block of Illegal Streaming Sites in Singapore
The Order was obtained by CAP members, BBC Studios, Discovery Communications, LaLiga, the Premier League and TVB International against illegal streaming sites that were offering access to some of the most sought-after content including premium sports, drama and entertainment. The Order covered the greatest number of sites and domains yet sought by CAP members. Under the Order Internet Service Providers must disable access to these illegal sites and their associated domains.
The Order is part of CAP's ongoing campaign in Singapore and around the region against illegal streaming sites. "Illegal streaming sites are simply illegal," said CAP's General Manager, Matthew Cheetham. "Piracy is not a victimless crime and hurts not only content providers but also consumers who can be exposed to viruses and malware when accessing illegal sites, including malware that can access a user's sensitive data such as banking details."
The Order comes shortly after the release of a new study commissioned by CAP, "Time to Compromise". The study showed that a typical user visiting illegal streaming sites could be infected by ransomware, several trojan horses, and other Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) within 42 seconds on a Windows machine, and 78 seconds for an Android device. The results support the hypothesis that there is a nexus between illegal streaming sites and malware infections, where site operators generate significant revenue from allowing malicious ads to be placed on their sites. Malware authors can in turn gain access to consumer PCs and mobile devices, and all of the data held in storage, including access to banking login details and other sensitive logins.
A study on the online content viewing behaviour in Singapore, commissioned by CAP and conducted by YouGov shows that blocking sites is effective with the percentage of Singaporean consumers accessing illegal streaming sites and using Illicit Streaming Devices (ISDs) dropping in recent years. "Enforcement is key but so is consumer education," said Cheetham. "This Order carries a dual purpose in not only blocking access to illegal content but also informing consumers that the sites are illegal."

Legacy Block Partners with Power of One Foundation to End Hunger
 |
Legacy Block ("BLCK") is the governance token of several protocols seeking to address some of the world's greatest challenges. "We believe we can use our token to solve some of the world's pressing challenges," says Joel Plasco, Co-Founder of Legacy Block. "When we set out to do this in Nigeria we were met with pessimism, what we now know is people will invest their time in what we call Personal Natural Resources ("PNR") to help themselves and their community. Blockchain and tokens are a very helpful tool for documenting and rewarding people for their participation."
Through the partnership POOF will work with Legacy Block to create new food security solutions leveraging the power of Blockchain. POOF's expertise and capabilities have been tested and honed over the duration of the Covid Pandemic. In 2020, as the effects of Covid halted the economy and devastated the income for tens of millions of Americans, POOF stepped up to feed over 3 million people in California and distributed over 10 million lbs of food earning it 2020 California Nonprofit of the Year.
"We learned during the height of the pandemic that new blockchain based tools could have possibly helped us increase the number of people we fed and could have helped people in need get other vital services. We believe we can use PNR to convert time and other intangible assets into tokenized monetizable assets," says Andre Roberson, CEO of Power of One Foundation.
By working with POOF, Legacy Block believes in the acquisition and utility of cryptographic assets available to everyone on the planet. Legacy Block has signed up 100,000 members in Africa who have pledged more than 5 million hours of their time to help social innovators who solve real world problems. These members are using PNR to eliminate extreme poverty. Legacy Block has agreed as part of this partnership to provide training and start-up capital to 50,000 POOF members which will allow those members to use PNR to reduce food insecurity.
"Applying PNR to food securities issues in the USA is the next step in creating a global PNR ecosystem capable of reducing financial inequalities," says Master Node Holder Lou Zant.
"We are excited to work with Legacy Block to help 50,000 of our community members activate their Personal Natural Resources ("PNR") to achieve permanent food security and to have access to the Legacy Block BLCK governance token and the great minds gathering to solve real life problems using blockchain," says Andre Roberson.
