The Global TV Group recently released an updated version of its survey of how television is consumed around the world. The figures show that despite the rise of digital alternatives, traditional television remains attractive and attracts viewers with its diverse range of content.

According to the prosecution a Dutch pirate streaming service allowed customers to watch unlimited films and series for €10 a month.

A trial for illegal access to Sky Deutschland’s pay-TV service ended with a fine at a German court today.

The Nova TV group has been giving rise to actions over illegal distribution of content via various repositories almost continuously. The damage caused by the illegal distribution of content amounts to hundreds of millions of crowns.

The main commercial players state that the increased TV fee together with the extension of its payment to include all users of ČT services instead of only those having a TV set would bring imbalance in the market.

The latest example from Britain, but also other examples from Europe, show that piracy can be effectively detected but also condemned.

Czech Television's stations continued to record a market share of over 30% this May and achieved the highest market share in the universal group over 15 years of age.
