Counselor Alexandre Freire, in charge of analyzing the case, highlighted the seriousness of this infraction. He highlighted the importance of strict measures to prevent the commercialization of products not approved by Anatel, especially since these devices can be used to transmit copyrighted content illegally. This practice harms several sectors of the economy, including sporting events and cinema, directly affecting content creators and owners.

To reduce this impact, Anatel set up a laboratory, opened in September this year, but since February the agency had already started blocking all types of unapproved TV boxes. The operation has been a success, as Anatel recently announced that 80% of pirated devices have already been blocked.
