  IPTV Piracy Generates More Internet Traffic Than Torrents
  
  By Ernesto from TorrentFreak
  
  Piracy comes in many shapes and sizes, including unlicensed IPTV subscriptions that offer cheap access to live sports and premium TV channels. While this sort of piracy doesn't regularly make headlines it's quite substantial. New data reveals the traffic generated by these services is massive, much larger than torrent traffic, for example.

  CBS Sues Man for Posting Image of a 59-Year TV-Show on Social Media
  
  By Ernesto from TorrentFreak
  
  CBS Broadcasting has launched one of the most unusual copyright infringement cases in recent history. The media giant is suing a New York man who posted a screenshot of a 1958 episode of the TV-series 'Gunsmoke' on social media. The man now faces $150,000 in potential damages, but since he sued CBS first, it's likely that the case will not come to that.

  Despite Massive Site-Blocking, Russian Pirate Video Market Doubles
  
  By Andy from TorrentFreak
  
  Site-blocking is supposed to be an effective tool for dealing with piracy but research from Russia paints a rather different picture. Despite blocking thousands of domains, last year the market for pirate video more than doubled in the region, with the average pirate site generating around $156,000pa and some into the millions.
