Overview

• DAZN has begun sending formal letters offering a €500 lump‑sum settlement to users flagged for illegal streaming, giving recipients seven days to pay before civil actions are filed.
• The targeted users were identified in a Guardia di Finanza operation run from Rome and Lecce that dismantled an IPTV network by tracing subscribers through personal, banking and location data.
• Prosecutors authorized the release of the identified users’ details to rights‑holders, providing the legal basis for civil and administrative claims.
• DAZN says court cases could seek damages of several thousand euros per user, presenting the €500 proposal as a lower‑cost extrajudicial resolution.
• Authorities report nearly 2,500 users sanctioned this year and more than 3,000 still being identified, while Sky and Lega Serie A have requested the same lists to consider similar actions.
