VTV drastically implements EURO 2020 copyright protection

Images from the UEFA EURO 2020 tournament are broadcast across the country. In every house, everyone talks of the developments of the match and predicts who will be the champion.

As the owner of rights of UEFA EURO 2020, Vietnam Television has drastically implemented the tournament copyright protection on the territory of Vietnam so as to bring best quality images to the audience.

Along with transmitting the exciting atmosphere on the channels, this year, Vietnam Television is broadcasting matches of the European football festivals on digital platforms. In order to better serve sports fans, Vietnam Television shared the rights of the UEFA tournament to third-party units to exploit and rebroadcast VTV channels intact.

At the same time, in order to protect the media rights as committed to UEFA, Vietnam Television has established a working group tasked with scanning and dealing with violations.

In the first five days of competition, more than 500 violations were detected on YouTube, Facebook and website. Copyright infringing units will answer before the law be also directly responsible for losses incurred to Vietnam Television.
