People are getting jailed for TV piracy in Egypt now: A court sentenced a man to one-year in prison and ordered him to pay an EGP 100,000 fine after finding him guilty of illegally distributing and selling OSN content. “The judges have sent out a very strong message. Stealing content from OSN, and other legal owners, can land you in jail as well as face very big fines in Egypt,” Sophie Moloney, OSN chief legal officer, commented.
