Man charged with selling illegal streaming devices at Sim Lim Square, infringing copyright of Disney, Netflix
Ge Xin, a 36-year-old Singaporean, was charged along with the two companies — MT Gadget+ and Grandnew. Ge is also accused of infringing the copyright of other works such as Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore by Warner Bros, Discovery Channel by Discovery and Top Gun Maverick by Paramount Pictures.
The raid was the first publicised crackdown on illegal streaming devices since a law banning the sale of pirate set-top boxes was passed in September 2021.
