Brazil Takes Down JustAnotherPanel, Fake Stream Giant Exploiting Artists
Brazilian law enforcement has taken significant action against JustAnotherPanel, a global service providing fake streams and inauthentic interactions. The operation, the largest of its kind in Brazil, aims to protect artists and rightsholders from exploitation and ensure genuine online music experiences for fans on platforms like youtube music and apple music.
JustAnotherPanel was found to have committed criminal offences, including breaching consumer protection laws by misleading fans and diverting revenue from artists and music creators. The company provided technical infrastructure to a large network of re-seller sites, offering fake streams and inauthentic interactions such as fake likes and followers on youtube music and apple music.
The operation discovered an extensive botnet system used by JustAnotherPanel to deliver these inauthentic behaviors online. A court order was obtained to block the service and its commercial infrastructure across Brazil, disrupting at least 43 local services and over 1,131 foreign re-sellers on platforms like youtube music and apple music.
IFPI, the voice of the recording industry worldwide, praised the action. IFPI CEO Victoria Oakley reinforced the value of authenticity in music. Paulo Rosa, President of Pro-Música Brasil, applauded the successful operation and committed to working with Brazilian authorities to tackle fraudulent practices and protect music consumers on platforms like youtube music and apple music.
The disruption of JustAnotherPanel sends a strong message to bad actors exploiting the music ecosystem on platforms like youtube music and apple music. It ensures that artists and rightsholders are protected and that fans can enjoy authentic online music experiences. For further information, contact IFPI at their email address or phone number.
