DStv under siege | SA News


DStv is under siege from an old nemesis — piracy. However, the battlefield has changed. A decade ago, it fought BitTorrent and Usenet downloads; today, the threat comes from pirate streaming platforms.

To address this problem, MultiChoice is investing millions in combating copyright infringement in South Africa and around the world.

DStv has been the dominant pay-TV operator in South Africa for three decades. It was launched in 1995 and was the first direct-to-home digital pay-TV service outside the United…

  1. Interview with a pirate:

    There was a pirate who had agreed to do an interview with a local tv station. The reporter was very courteous and professional, giving a bit of background as to the pirate\’s business. She then began interviewing him.

    \”So Mr. Longbeard, are there any risks to your business? I see you have a peg leg- how did that come about?\”

    \”Well, y\’see I were sailing along the coast of South Africa, looking to plunder some locals when as I boarded the small boat from the ship, a great white shark came up and got my leg clean off. \’twas scary yes, but thus is the life of a pirate.\”

    \”Wow, that is pretty scary- well, how about your hook? What happened to your hand with that?\”

    \”Oh now that\’s quite the tale, y\’see I were fighting a rival pirate, and we had locked swords. We had been fighting for a few hours, and were both terribly fatigued. I had a bit of exhaustion and confusion, and when I went to block one of his sword blows, I met him with me hand instead of me sword. Took it right off, but it shocked him so much I managed to get him back pretty good and have him submit. So the hook hand was given as a replacement.\”

    \”Wow. Simply fascinating. Now, what about your eye patch? How did that happen?\”

    \”Well, one day, a seagull was flying overhead, and I looked up. It pooped right in me eye.\”

    \”… Well wow. I must admit, I wouldn\’t think just seagull poop could damage the eye that badly.\”

    \”Oh, I forgot to mention… it were me first day with the hook.\”
