BLV Long Vu comments on the Xoi Lac case: 'This is a struggle without rest'

BLV Long Vu speaks candidly after over 30 individuals linked to the Xoi Lac TV system were prosecuted, drawing significant attention in the football community.

The news of authorities prosecuting over 30 people connected to the illegal Xoi Lac TV broadcasting system is causing a major stir in the football and sports media circles. In a recent commentary program, many veteran journalists and commentators have expressed frank views on the phenomenon of illegal streaming sites operating for a long time and attracting a large audience.

Opening the program, journalist and commentator Long Vu mentioned the incident when authorities prosecuted over 30 individuals related to the Xoi Lac TV system. He said: “Starting a new day, we read this news, not sure how to comment, but I think the prosecution of over 30 people linked to the Xoi Lac TV system is a highly notable case. This is something that was bound to happen eventually.”

According to BLV Long Vu, the authorities' intervention is merely the inevitable consequence after a long period of illegal streaming sites operating openly. He emphasized: “activities that openly violate the law, infringe on intellectual property rights” cannot persist forever if the legal system is enforced seriously and consistently.

This commentator also pointed out a long-standing paradox in the sports broadcasting rights market. While legitimate broadcasters have to pay enormous sums to acquire broadcasting rights, illegal streaming platforms can attract a massive viewership without bearing any of the costs. He said: “People spend a lot of money to buy broadcasting rights, while these sites just stream content without any rights at all. How can the industry develop like that?”

Going beyond the economic perspective, BLV Long Vu also made a strong legal comparison. In his view, watching and supporting illegal streaming platforms also contributes to sustaining the ecosystem of copyright infringement. He stated: “It is no different from consuming products obtained through others' criminal acts.”

In reality, according to official information, the network operating the Xoi Lac TV system was determined to be large-scale with many participants. Members were assigned to different departments and operated under the guise of technology companies to conceal their illegal activities, while also integrating advertisements and redirecting viewers to online gambling platforms.

Concluding the program, BLV Long Vu delivered a strong message for sports fans.He stressed: “In a society governed by the rule of law, actions that break the law must be punished. This is a struggle without rest.”At the same time, he warned: “Acts of participating in, supporting, or following websites that violate the law are acts of aiding organized crime.”

Therefore, the Xoi Lac TV case is not just about dismantling an illegal network; it also raises significant questions about the awareness of respecting copyright in the online football and entertainment environment. As BLV Long Vu emphasized, dealing with violations is necessary to protect legitimate businesses and create a transparent sports environment where the value of copyright and the law is respected.
