Morocco IPTV and piracy law updates
Part of the new Law No. 013.26 in Morocco, which came into effect on August 10, 2026, aims to combat piracy and protect authors' rights. The law stipulates a ban on unlicensed broadcasting, including online and electronic networks, and provides a clear definition of piracy as the use of protected content without permission, whether through traditional means or via modern digital applications and servers. It also establishes penalties for the use of illegal IPTV services. The judiciary can issue orders to internet and hosting companies to block broadcasts and shut down pirated servers legally. Penalties include imprisonment from two to six months and fines of up to 100,000 dirhams for the first offense. In cases of repeat violations, penalties can be doubled to four years in prison and fines reaching 600,000 dirhams.
