# FACT warns illegal streamers following joint investigation with police
The UK's Federation Against Copyright Theft (infringement, but anyway...) has obtained a list of people who have allegedly purchased streaming devices preconfigured to access infringing streaming services, and has emailed them.
> During investigations into Edge and operators of another illegal streaming service (currently pending a criminal prosecution), law enforcement seized details of customers who had purchased access to so-called “loaded” Firesticks, Android, or Kodi devices. Those customers have now been contacted directly to warn them of the dangers of continuing to use illegal streaming services.
