YuppTV Initiates Lawsuit Against Major International Piracy Network 'Boss IPTV'
Leading OTT platform's anti-piracy efforts result in multiple arrests and court cases against $84 million illegal streaming operation
ATLANTA, June 12, 2025 /CNW/ -- YuppTV, one of the world's leading internet-based TV platform for Indian content, has announced the filing of a lawsuit as part of its continued fight against one of the largest illegal IPTV networks worldwide. The company's comprehensive anti-piracy initiative has resulted in arrests, filing court cases on the piracy network.
YuppTV has filed a comprehensive complaint in the United States District Court targeting the extensive piracy network operating under multiple brand names including Boss IPTV, Tashan IPTV.Net, Vois.Biz., Punjabi IPTV, Indian IPTV, Brampton IPTV, Boss Entertainment.Xyz, and Guru IPTV. The illegal operations have caused substantial damage to the entertainment industry, with broadcasters losing an estimated $200-300 million annually.
YuppTV's complaint to the Faridabad Cyber Crime Police led to a successful raid in March 2021, resulting in the arrest of six employees involved in illegal streaming operations. The illegal operation involved streaming thousands of premium channels without authorization, including content from major Indian broadcasters and international platforms.
Uday Reddy, Founder & CEO from YuppTV, commented, "The identification and prosecution of networks like Boss IPTV will be a huge positive step for the industry in the fight against piracy. As a company that serves millions of viewers globally and has invested decades in building legitimate partnerships with content creators, we at YuppTV refuse to stand by while pirates profit from stolen intellectual property. These recent arrests and our fight against piracy send a clear message that we will pursue every available legal remedy to protect our industry, our partners, and the millions of consumers who choose to support legitimate platforms."
According to the Goldstein Law Group representing YuppTV, any subscriber using illegal IPTV pirate services such as Boss IPTV, Guru IPTV, Tashan IPTV, Brampton IPTV, Vois IPTV, Indian IPTV, Punjabi IPTV, Edmonton IPTV, Boss Entertainment IPTV, or UltrastreamTV, their phone number may be linked to illegal piracy and/or copyright infringement which is a crime under the U.S. federal law. Penalties for serious copyright infringement may include felony charges which may render non-citizens deportable under the U.S. federal law.
YuppTV warns customers that illegal IPTV services pose serious security risks beyond legal consequences, as pirates can access personal information including credit card details, which are then sold on the dark web. As the largest internet-based TV platform for South Asian content, YuppTV strongly urges all consumers currently using illegal streaming services to immediately discontinue their use and transition to legitimate platforms.

The new Pebble watch's mobile app will also work with some old Pebble watches
On his personal blog, Eric Migicovsky, the creator of the original Pebble smartwatch, has shared some updates and important milestones about the smartwatches his new company plans to release this year. The Core 2 Duo smartwatch is 'nearing mass production,' according to Migicovsky, and Core Devices is 'on track to ship out all pre-orders in July and August.' Customers who preordered the Core 2 Duo should receive an email later this month to confirm shipping and to pay any regional charges that apply, including duties, tariffs, and taxes. The Core 2 Time – an upgraded version of the Core 2 Duo that adds a touchscreen and sleep and step tracking capabilities – is also still on schedule for a release later this year, and the company is 'aiming to have working engineering samples within the next month.' Migicovsky also says the Core 2 Duo is ready to start beta testing and that 200 units have been manufactured and will be sent out to some early preorder customers over the next few weeks, but only those who opt in and are selected to be testers. The company is seeking volunteers to try the new hardware, software, and mobile apps. The most interesting detail about Core Devices starting its beta test program is that it's not limited to those who preordered the new watches. Migicovsky revealed that the company's new iOS and Android mobile apps are also designed to work with older smartwatches, including the Pebble Time (both the Steel and Round versions) and the Pebble 2. If you still have any of those models on hand, you're encouraged to join the beta program to put the new app through its paces. Even if you don't have any interest in testing Core Devices' new hardware or software, this is great news for fans of the original Pebble watches who have had to rely on sideloading old versions of the company's mobile app to keep them running after Fitbit ended support back in 2018.

Foxconn Ships 97% of India-Made iPhones to U.S.
Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) efforts to sidestep steep U.S. tariffs on China-made handsets are crystalizing in India, where Foxconn shipped roughly 97% of its $3.2 billion in iPhone exports to the U.S. between March and Mayup from a 50.3% U.S. share in 2024. May alone saw about $1 billion of India-made iPhones land stateside, the second-largest monthly tally after March's $1.3 billion, according to customs data. In the first five months of 2025, Foxconn has sent $4.4 billion worth of devices from India to Americaalready surpassing the full-year 2024 total of $3.7 billion. Apple CEO Tim Cook told investors that most iPhones sold in the June quarter in the U.S. would be built in India, part of a broader push to diversify manufacturing beyond China. Foxconn's plants and Tata Electronics' three South India facilitieswhere 86% of their March-April output also went to the central to that strategy. Apple has even lobbied Chennai airport officials to cut customs clearance times from 30 hours to six, smoothing the export pipeline. While India faces its own tariff negotiationsa baseline 10% import duty and a paused 26% surcharge proposed by the Trump administrationApple's shift underscores how global supply chains are realigning around tariff arbitrage. In parallel, former President Trump has threatened 25% levies on iPhones not made in the U.S. and floated 55% duties on Chinese goods, highlighting the political stakes. Why It Matters: With India becoming a primary export hub for U.S. iPhone sales, Apple could trim tariff drag and fortify its supply resiliencebut must navigate evolving duties and geopolitical headwinds.

Goldberg also offered his insights on the competitive landscape he sees, the role of AI in enhancing user experience, the importance of consumer trust in the travel industry, and more. Listen Now Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube | RSS Five Key Points Focus on Experiences as a Growth Driver: Viator, Tripadvisor's platform for booking local experiences, has become the 'strategic and financial center' of the company. Experiences now outpace hotels as the company's primary area of expansion. Resilience of Travel Demand and Shift in Traveler Behavior: Despite economic uncertainty, travelers continue to prioritize experiences, showing strong discretionary spending resilience. Goldberg emphasizes a shift to more local, drive-to, and second-tier destinations (e.g., Lake George, the Adirondacks), which not only meets evolving traveler interests but also supports sustainability by dispersing tourism beyond major hotspots. Airbnb's Entry Validates the Market, Not a Threat: Goldberg said he isn't concerned about Airbnb's relaunched experiences product, adding that multiple players can thrive in the sector. Viator's Advantage: Focused Marketplace + Strategic Partnerships: Viator benefits from its exclusive focus on experiences, deep supply penetration, and partnerships with major travel brands like Expedia, Amazon, and thousands of travel agents. These partnerships bring in incremental customers without high marketing costs, helping Viator scale profitably and globally. AI is a Game-Changer for TripAdvisor and Viator: Tripadvisor is integrating AI across all its brands, using it for trip planning, review summarization, product listings, recommendations, and B2B tools. Goldberg says AI is seen as a foundational, transformative force that will optimize operations, enhance customer experience, and reshape the business model. Episode Summary Tripadvisor CEO Matt Goldberg reflected on the company's journey from its humble beginnings during his chat with Editor-in-Chief Sarah Kopit and Head of Research Seth Borko. Goldberg explained how Tripadvisor was able to solve the challenge of finding trustworthy travel information, which sparked a revolution in democratizing travel advice. Goldberg outlined how Tripadvisor has been able to build experiences marketplaces through brands like Viator and The Fork. He also expressed admiration for Airbnb for relaunching its experiences product. However, he said his company, with its deep category focus on experiences through Viator and Tripadvisor, is better positioned than horizontal platforms like Airbnb to thrive in the sector. Goldberg also talked about what he calls a culture of experimentation and agility within Tripadvisor, likening the current moment to a startup era driven by a renewed sense of purpose and innovation.
