(a) Pay TV signal piracy still remains rampant despite efforts have been made by the law enforcers in trying to clamp down illegal decoders and by the industry in regularly using new technical solutions to combat piracy. Illegal decoder retailers even provide cheap maintenance service to customers to ensure that customers can continue to use the illegal decoder despite adoption of new technical solutions. Though importation of illegal decoders in the course of trade or business has been made an offence for almost five years, no enforcement action has yet been seen at the border. This is worrying because as far as we are aware the illegal decoders retailed in Hong Kong come from the PRC. We are of the view that the law enforcers should work more closely with the mainland authorities and step up enforcement actions at the border.
