Signal Piracy, also known as Signal Theft, occurs when a business or individual decodes an encrypted signal without authorization, usually meaning they have not paid for or subscribed to the service. The crime of signal piracy allows businesses, like bars or hotels, to benefit and profit from paid programming by illegally broadcasting this signal to their customers, patrons, or guests.
Signal Piracy can either happen during a normal transmission or from a stolen “event,” such as a specific Pay-Per-View broadcast. Offenders are not only stealing from you, but they are stealing from your service provider and likely slowing down the signal and interfering with the quality of broadcast you have paid for. If you are relying on a strong signal for your business, such as at a sports bar, then signal piracy could cost you significant profits. If your business requires a strong signal, or you want your signals protected in your home, call ICS and we will perform an audit to determine if your signal is being stolen, where it is happening, and by whom.
