How Amazon is putting an end to illegal streaming in the United States
As reported by The Athletic, Amazon is rolling out a tougher approach to combat illegal streaming, with the company aiming to block apps loaded onto all its Fire TV Stick devices.
This includes popular shows, live sports, blockbusters, and so much more.
It stated the clampdown will apply to both old and brand-new Fire Sticks.
“Piracy is illegal and we’ve always worked to block it from our app store,” an Amazon spokesperson explained to the outlet.

“We’ll now block apps identified as providing access to pirated content, including those downloaded from outside our app store. This builds on our ongoing efforts to support creators and protect customers, as piracy can also expose users to malware, viruses and fraud.”
Amazon has worked with the Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE), which fights piracy on behalf of more than 50 media companies, on the new initiative, the publication stated.
