About & Authorization

What this service is

ReportPiracy.UK is a dedicated channel for the public to report websites, streams, search results, videos, apps, and IPTV services that distribute Sky content without authorization. Reports are reviewed and, where confirmed, acted on through formal copyright takedown notices.

Authorization

This service is operated to receive piracy reports and issue takedown notices on behalf of Sky UK Limited, as the owner of, or exclusive rights holder in, the Sky channels, programming, and content referenced in reports submitted here. Authorized personnel review and verify each report before any notice is issued.

Part of a wider enforcement effort

This service sits alongside Sky's existing legal enforcement against piracy, including a High Court injunction (Sky UK Limited v British Telecommunications plc & Ors, Claim No. IL-2023-000082) that requires the UK's major internet service providers to block dedicated piracy and IPTV services at the network level. See Legal Basis for the full detail. Reports submitted here feed the individually-reviewed side of that effort, covering piracy such as social media re-uploads, video platforms, and search results.

What this service is not

It is not a customer service or billing support channel, for account queries, use Sky's official customer service.
It does not provide legal advice to reporters or to the operators of reported platforms.
It does not guarantee removal of reported content, outcomes depend on the platform and the strength of the evidence provided.
