About this listen

 Will Sky’s new crackdown on dodgy boxes work? Can they really start looking at WhatsApp groups to identify offenders?  And what is the future for dodgy boxes in Ireland? JJ Clarke, producer, joins host Adrian on this week’s episode of The Big Tech Show. The conversation began with producer JJ asking Adrian should the average dodgy boxers user be worried about criminal prosecution. The tech editor answered that Sky is already using private investigators to identify sellers and users of dodgy boxes online but that the problem will not be solved by a spate of prosecutions. Adrian suggested that Sky and other media companies need to learn from the likes of iTunes who pivoted once people started illegally downloading music. You can listen to the full episode here on the Irish Independent website or wherever you get your podcasts.
