A man who illegally streamed dozens of Premier league football matches walked free from court.
Peter Dilworth, 36, from Wirral, appeared in Liverpool Crown Court on Tuesday, November 1, after he was found to be operating Marvel Stream UK, a service provided access to Premier League matches and Sky Sports and BT Sport broadcasts. FACT, the UK’s leading intellectual property protection organisation, initially started its investigation into Dilworth in January 2021.
After receiving intelligence from the Premier League about the streaming service, the company worked with Merseyside Police to identify Dilworth as the operator of the service. In March, Merseyside Police arrested and interviewed him and searched his home.
