In addition to these measures, Saudi Arabia has been actively supporting the broadcast TV pirate channel named beoutQ.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the launch of the investment arbitration against Saudi Arabia, Sophie Jordan, Executive Director of Legal Affairs \u2013 General Counsel of beIN Media Group, said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em> \u201cAfter failed attempts to resolve this dispute through dialogue, we have now been forced to issue a Notice of Arbitration due to Saudi Arabia\u2019s concerted campaign to prevent beIN from operating in the country, despite beIN having the legal and commercial right to do so. We are a well-respected global broadcaster, providing millions of customers around the world with top quality programming. Quite clearly, we are being unfairly used as a political football in a wider regional dispute. But this case has implications far beyond beIN \u2013 in beoutQ, Saudi Arabia has created a plague of piracy and unless the whole sports, entertainment and broadcast industry takes a stand, its impact will be devastating and irreversible.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadbandtvnews.com\/2018\/10\/02\/bein-sports-launches-1-billion-suit-against-saudi-arabia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.broadbandtvnews.com\/2018\/10\/02\/bein-sports-launches-1-billion-suit-against-saudi-arabia\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BeIn has launched an international investment arbitration against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for damages totalling more than $1 billion, having been unlawfully driven out of the Saudi market and&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2824,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2823","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-audiovisuel"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mouillere.com\/universconvergents\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Inforgraphics_bein_sports_Saudi-Piracy.png?fit=1178%2C900&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p6jw1p-Jx","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":2591,"url":"https:\/\/mouillere.com\/universconvergents\/2017\/08\/03\/canadian-rights-holders-fight-tvaddons\/","url_meta":{"origin":2823,"position":0},"title":"Canadian rights holders fight TVAddons","author":"Fred","date":"3 ao\u00fbt 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"In December 2016 the cable companies started legal proceedings against about 45 Canadian companies for selling \u2018fully-loaded\u2019 Android boxes, in an effort to try to stop the sale of these set-top boxes that promises \u201chundreds of TV channels and live sports free of charge\u201d.
