Company director Jia Xiaofeng was given three months’ jail yesterday and fined $5,400 over a case of illegal broadcasts of Premier League football and other entertainment content.
His company, local distributor Synnex Trading, was handed a record fine of $160,800 for selling illegal streaming devices (ISDs). This is the second case of its kind here.
In April, the company director of local retailer An-Nahl, who sold ISDs supplied by Jia, was fined $1,200 after he was convicted of one criminal charge of copyright infringement.
The suit against Jia and Synnex was initiated by Mr Neil Kevin Gane, who was representing several rights owners, including the English Premier League and pay-TV operators Singtel and StarHub.
Jia and the company were each convicted of four charges under the Copyright Act.
Jia was the mastermind of the operation, selling illegal Android TV boxes from the Synnex store in Geylang Road.
