Roku Es Legal En Mexico

«Cablevision cannot allow content it licenses from domestic and foreign companies to be used illegally,» Cablevision spokeswoman Maria Eugenia Zurita told Reuters via email. «We also want Roku Inc. to better monitor the use of its software so that it is not used inappropriately.» The problem was that Roku`s platform – unlike for example the more locked Apple TV – supports so-called «private channels». This feature was originally intended as a way for developers to test their channels before making them publicly available in Roku`s channel storage. But many began using private channels to stream illegal content, such as cable TV programs. Roku defended itself by saying that these apps were not certified and that it would «take steps» to comply with the law and «inform the public of their correct use.» Los Gatos, California-based Roku disagrees with Wednesday`s court ruling and will continue its legal efforts to ensure it can distribute its products in Mexico, Attorney General Steve Kay said in a statement. Hackers in Mexico are using the WhatsApp messaging app to provide Roku owners with illegal access to monthly plans from hundreds of TV networks, including Televisa, HBO, ESPN and others. In a statement, Stephen Kay, Roku`s chief legal officer, said the use of technology offered by his company has always been and will always be legal, and that the court`s decision «is an important victory for consumers, retailers and content producers.» «Today`s decision is not the last word on this complex legal issue, and it should not deter consumers from buying Roku products in Mexico at this time,» Kay said. The company claimed that Roku was illegally broadcasting television content without paying royalties and without asking permission.

MEXICO CITY, June 29 (Reuters) — A cable operator owned by Mexico`s largest television network has won a legal battle to stop sales of Roku video streaming devices in the country because gadgets are often hacked to allow users to view pirated channels. The same problem plagues Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick devices today. Entire companies have sprung up to sell «pirated» Fire Sticks, as consumers like to call them. These are devices preloaded with software that allows users to stream illegal content, including TV shows and movies, even those that are still in theaters. After it was banned in Mexico, Roku began to take the problem of piracy more seriously. It began cracking down on private channels and loading on-screen warnings that channels must abide by Roku`s terms and distribute legal content. Some channels decided to leave Roku itself, and others were started by the device manufacturer in the days that followed, including popular sources of pirated or illegally aired content like XTV, USTVNOW, Channel Pear and others. According to Cablevision, the devices were used to install services that were not officially offered. In some cases, customers transfer money to convenience stores and then send hackers photos of their receipts. «We are not the cause of piracy in Mexico and we are fighting it,» he said.

The company`s chief marketing officer, Matthew Anderson, said streaming is the future of TV and offers Mexican consumers a great opportunity to give them more entertainment options and the ability to watch TV at their favorite times. A judge ordered the temporary suspension of sales of Roku devices in Mexico, although the online platform continued to operate. The Roku device is only paid for because you just have to buy it and don`t pay anymore. You must create an account and pay for the services already mentioned. In addition to Netflix, Prime Video, HBO, Google Play or Cinãpolis©KLIC, which are paid services, you can watch other channels such as Youtube, Redbull TV, DW, Sling TV, Drama Fever and more. The global success of platforms like Netflix and YouTube has made streaming fashionable, a technology that allows you to transfer files «in real time» and without geographical boundaries. This is the new online TV. A judge issued a court order last week at Cablevision`s request to stop importing and selling Roku devices, but Roku later obtained a suspension. Wednesday`s decision lifted the suspension. Roku defines itself as a «streaming pioneer» company.

Casi seis meses despuà s del Último fallo en el tema, Roku consiguiÓ los permisos para volver a operar en este paÃs y la prohibiciÓn de venta de sus productos dejarÁ© de existir por lo que volveremos a ver los dispositivos Roku en las tiendas, junto a los Chromecast de Google y los dispositivos Apple TV. Roku devices are connected to TVs and provide access to Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Starz, and other services on the Internet. These and similar products are an essential part of a consumer trend away from cable TV in recent years. PUEDES LEER: HD streaming of the Tierra por la Estación Espacial Internacional Roku has actually benefited from these channels and their popularity, while turning a blind eye to the problem of piracy. The networks were, after all, private — and what they were doing apparently wasn`t Roku`s or his business` concern. Until, of course, it is.
