Qatar's beIN media group on Wednesday stepped up its war of words against alleged Saudi-backed piracy, launching a website exposing what it says is wide-scale theft of its programmes.
The "reveal all" beoutq.tv website went live with the aim of holding the pirate operation to account, a statement said.
"What started out as a concerted and targeted campaign against beIN has now morphed into the largest commercial theft that's ever been seen in the world of sport and entertainment," Tom Keaveny, beIN's managing director in the Middle East region, said in the statement.
"This Saudi-supported plague of piracy represents an existential threat to the economic model of the industry."
