beIN Sports has launched a protest against the piracy of the Women’s World Cup match broadcasts by French -based beoutQ , which has stolen the broadcast signal from rights holder FIFA in Qatar . It has asked Arabsat , the Saudi -based satellite provider which is reported to be carrying beoutQ ’s broadcasts, to co-operate in tackling the misuse of its intellectual property. There is no clear FIFA statute that takes this situation into account, though there are plenty that cover causing damage to the sport and FIFA partners – which the Saudi piracy is clearly doing. It is also co-operating with other broadcasters whose rights have been infringed by beoutQ. Arabsat has denied it is carrying pirated broadcasts from beoutQ but digital security firms have disagreed and a Saudi court has said it was distributing the broadcasts.
