Man Who Sold Pirate IPTV Must Pay £521,000 or Face Five More Years in Prison

John Dodds was sentenced in 2018 to four-and-a-half years each in prison for selling pirate IPTV devices to pubs and clubs in the North-East of England. The Premier League, which brought the action, welcomed the judgment. Failure to come up with the funds will result in Dodds' prison sentence being extended by an additional five years. Dodds and Jason Richards were involved in an operation selling ‘pirate’ IPTV to around 270 pubs in the north-east.
