(DSI photo)Executives of a Hong Kong-based television channel and its Thai partners have asked the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) to tackle online piracy after their drama series and television shows were illegally streamed on many websites, causing about $15 million (478 million baht) in damages. They said TVB and MV TV had jointly operated subscription streaming services of TVB's drama series and television shows from Hong Kong and China. The Hong Kong-based television company wants the DSI to take drastic action against rampant piracy violations. As soon as the shows are broadcast in Hong Kong, they are illegally streamed via websites and applications.
