As the new season begins for various sports competitions, including the Premier League, Liga 1, Proliga, Livoli, National Basketball Association, and FIM Motocross World Championship (MXGP), Indonesia Entertainment Group (IEG) or the party appointed by Surya Citra Media (SCM) to manage the viewing activities, continues its enforcement efforts against broadcasting rights violations. This enforcement targets venues that illegally broadcast last season's sports content owned by SCM.

On July 16, 2024, law enforcement was conducted in Medan involving legal representatives from the law office of Ginting & Associates, as well as the North Sumatra Police's Special Criminal Investigation Directorate.
This enforcement aims to stop illegal viewing activities of SCM's sports content, which are still being carried out by these venues. Despite being warned, some venues continue their illegal activities.

1. Steps taken by IEG

This is a step taken by IEG in continuing legal actions that have been carried out in various cities previously. IEG is committed to not remaining silent if there are venues that continue to violate broadcasting rights and do not register officially for joint viewing activities. Eben Ezer Ginting, the legal counsel for IEG from Ginting & Associates law firm, explained that this firm action is taken to uphold the appropriate broadcasting rights.

According to Eben Ezer, venues that broadcast the English League without permission from IEG have previously received a letter of warning or notice. However, some venues did not respond or did not reach the expected agreement. Therefore, direct enforcement actions were taken against these venues.

The enforcement in Medan was carried out at several venues simultaneously, including the seizure of evidence used for illegal joint viewing activities. This action aims to stop violations of broadcasting rights and ensure that all joint viewing activities comply with applicable regulations.

2. The impact of illegal group watching implementation

The implementation of illegal group watching harms the economic rights of the SCM group, which could result in imprisonment of up to 4 years and/or a maximum fine of one billion rupiah for violators who use content commercially without permission. This assertion was made by Belafonti, GM of Business Development & Content IEG.

Belafonti urged all venues or business actors intending to hold group watching events, especially for the English League, League 1, Proliga, and other sports content owned by SCM, not to carry out such activities carelessly.

According to him, IEG will not hesitate to take legal action against parties that continue to engage in illegal group watching. This firm action aims to protect broadcasting rights and ensure compliance with applicable regulations.

3. IEG Announcement

Along with the resumption of the competition season for various sports content owned by the SCM group, venues wishing to hold public viewing events legally and comfortably can register as official partners by applying to IEG.

IEG once again reminds the public not to engage in activities that may violate the broadcasting rights of the SCM group or the applicable laws and regulations in Indonesia.

For fans of the Premier League, Liga 1, Proliga, Livoli, and other sports, be sure to check the website http://www.ieg.id/nobar/ to enjoy an exciting public viewing experience in the city of KLovers.
