Areas targeted in UK raids on people using 'dodgy' Firesticks

The Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT) is stepping up its efforts to combat the illegal use of 'dodgy' or 'fully loaded' Firesticks for streaming sports and paid-for content. The organisation conducts raids and keeps a close eye on digital sellers of these devices in order to target suppliers.

This practice is becoming increasingly common, with FACT's most recent raids taking place across the UK. In collaboration with the police, the crackdown has spanned numerous locations including London, Cheshire, Kent, Sussex, Norfolk, Northamptonshire, Lincolnshire, Derbyshire, Staffordshire, the East and West Midlands, Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Northumbria, and North Yorkshire.

Working alongside police services, FACT is ramping up its efforts to disrupt and dismantle piracy operations
