Overview
- Judge Brian Cregan granted a Norwich Pharmacal order requiring Revolut to share account-holder details tied to an illegal IPTV service used to stream Sky content.
- Revolut, which told the court it was neutral, will supply names and addresses for 304 subscribers and 10 resellers on an encrypted spreadsheet within 28 days.
- Sky told the court it plans to sue resellers and some users using the new data, with urgency because investigators say several resellers remain active before the season’s key fixtures.
- A Norwich Pharmacal order compels a third party that holds relevant information, such as a bank or platform, to identify suspected wrongdoers so a rights-holder can bring cases.
- Investigators traced payments for the “IPTV is Easy” service to David Dunbar’s Revolut account after his own records were lost or destroyed, with court filings citing about €118,992 from resellers and €72,414 plus £9,256 from end users over roughly three and a half years, and noting a €480,000 judgment and a €30,000 contempt fine against him.
