YuppTV warns users in the US and Canada against illegal IPTV services like Boss IPTV, highlighting serious legal, financial, and security risks.
YuppTV Sounds Alarm on Illegal IPTV Streaming Across North America: The rise of digital streaming has transformed how people consume content. But with this convenience has come a dark side—the growing menace of illegal IPTV services. One of the most prominent players in this underground world is Boss IPTV, a network illegally streaming Indian and international content across the USA, Canada, Australia, and Europe.
What appears to be a cheap and simple entertainment option is actually part of a sophisticated piracy racket, now under intense legal scrutiny.
In a bold move to protect both consumers and the digital broadcast industry, YuppTV—a leading legal provider of Indian content worldwide—has launched a public awareness campaign across the United States and Canada, warning people against the use of illegal IPTV services like Boss IPTV.

The campaign comes on the heels of a major civil lawsuit filed by YuppTV USA Inc. in the US District Court, Middle District of Pennsylvania, against Boss IPTV and its affiliated entities for pirating and illegally distributing licensed content including major Indian TV channels, blockbuster movies, and live sports events like the IPL, Asia Cup, and ICC World Cup.
What Is Boss IPTV and Why Should You Be Concerned?
Boss IPTV isn’t just another grey-area streaming site. It’s an organized illegal network that distributes premium content stolen from leading Indian broadcasters like Star, Sony, Zee, Colors, Sun TV, ETV, and from major international platforms including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, HBO, NBC, FOX, CBS, NFL, and NBA.
By offering stolen content at dirt-cheap rates, Boss IPTV has lured thousands of unsuspecting customers across North America. These operations have caused multi-million dollar losses to legitimate platforms such as YuppTV, and have drained significant tax revenues from governments.
Even public service broadcasters like PBS in the US are not spared, with their live channels being illegally offered through Boss IPTV's services.
The Man Behind the Scam
The IPTV piracy ring has been traced back to Harpreet Singh Randhawa, a Canadian national originally from Faridabad, India. Operating primarily from Calgary, Randhawa is linked to several companies involved in the illegal business, including:
- Vois Inc.
- 2144644 Alberta Ltd.
- Server Center Ltd.
- Rhysley Pvt Ltd (formerly Rhysley Couture Pvt Ltd)
This network also runs a centralized backend platform called eaZeeChat (www.eazee.xyz), used to manage customer support, sales, and reseller communications for various illegal IPTV brands.
Several alias services connected to Boss IPTV have been identified, such as:
- Guru IPTV
- Tashan IPTV
- Punjabi IPTV
- Brampton IPTV
- Vois IPTV
- UltrastreamTV
- Indian IPTV
All of these contribute to a massive illegal operation using shared infrastructure, the same server IP ranges, and overlapping company addresses.
How It Operates
Boss IPTV operates in a global relay between Canada and India. While the IPTV boxes are encoded and shipped from Canada, customer support, technical assistance, and billing are largely handled by teams based in Faridabad, New Delhi, and Jalandhar.
Websites used for the operation include:
- www.bossiptv.xyz
- www.indianiptv.net
- www.guruiptv.xyz
- www.punjabiiptv.xyz
- www.tashantv.net
- www.bramptoniptv.net
- www.servercenter.ca
- www.rhysley.org / www.rhysley.com
- www.vois.biz
All of these websites have been traced to the same IP address block: 209.153.233.115–118, further linking them to Randhawa’s central infrastructure.
How Consumers Could Be At Risk
While most users believe that the law targets only those running illegal streaming services, the reality is more complex. Increasingly, customers who knowingly use illegal IPTV services can also face legal consequences. Depending on local laws, they may be exposed to fines or civil lawsuits, especially if they’ve made recurring payments or subscriptions using identifiable information.
Beyond the legal exposure, there’s also a serious security risk. Illegal services like Boss IPTV often do not follow data protection norms. Many consumers unknowingly hand over their credit card details, home addresses, and emails, which are at high risk of being misused or sold to scammers. Some users have even reported phishing attacks and unauthorized bank activity after interacting with such services.
Scale of the Damage
The financial impact is staggering. The South Asian broadcast sector alone suffers an estimated $200–300 million in annual losses due to IPTV piracy. YuppTV, a licensed OTT provider distributing more than 350 Indian channels and on-demand content across 8 languages, is one of the worst affected platforms.
In addition to revenue losses, this piracy results in massive government tax losses, and investigations suggest that profits from these operations may be funding other illegal activities including drug trafficking, cybercrime, and tax evasion.
YuppTV Fights Back with Legal Action
To protect content rights and raise public awareness, YuppTV has taken strong legal action in both India and the USA.
In India:
- In March 2021, an FIR was filed against Rhysley Couture Pvt. Ltd. by YuppTV.
- Cyber Crime Police raided two key offices in Faridabad, seizing 13 laptops/computers.
- Six individuals were arrested, including senior employees and directors, although later released on bail.
- Broadcasters like Star, Zee, Viacom18, and ETV submitted formal complaints.
- Charge sheets were filed in May 2021 and again in May 2024, based on forensic evidence from the raids.
- DITAC (Digital Investigation Training and Analysis Centre) confirmed that the seized devices contained logs, chat histories, domain links, and server access data that tied directly to Boss IPTV's piracy network.
In the United States:
- On May 22, 2025, YuppTV USA Inc. filed a civil complaint (Case No. 1:25-cv-00912-YK) in the U.S. District Court, Middle District of Pennsylvania.
- The lawsuit names Harpreet Randhawa and his companies, as well as CDN and tech providers like Datacamp Limited (CDN77), Allstream Business USA, and Infomir USA.
- YuppTV is seeking permanent injunctions, domain/IP shutdown orders, and financial damages.
Despite these serious legal actions, the Boss IPTV network has not backed down. In fact, it has scaled operations further, introducing new brand names, more live channels, and an expanded VOD library. Their most recent activity report confirms that the piracy ecosystem is still active and growing, although now under even tighter surveillance.
What Should Consumers Do?
For those using or considering such services, the message is clear: stop immediately. Continuing to use platforms like Boss IPTV could lead to legal action, financial fraud, or worse.
Instead, consumers are encouraged to switch to legal and secure services like YuppTV, which offer comprehensive Indian content worldwide, with verified licenses and full data protection compliance.
It’s tempting to save a few dollars by subscribing to illegal IPTV services. But in doing so, users risk much more—legal penalties, data theft, and supporting criminal enterprises.
With YuppTV and similar legitimate platforms offering legal access to premium Indian and international content, it’s time to make the right choice.
