Streameast -- the world's largest illegal sports streaming platform -- has
been shut down after a year long investigation, according to a leading United
States-based anti-piracy organisation. From a report: The network of 80
unauthorised domains generated 1.6billion combined visits over the past year,
providing free access to global sports fixtures, including Europe's top
football leagues and competitions, such as the Premier League and Champions
League, as well as the NFL, NBA and MLB. The Athletic has been informed by
the Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE) -- a coalition of 50
media and entertainment organisations including Amazon, Apple TV+, Netflix
and Paramount -- that an operation alongside Egyptian law enforcement
officials took place on Sunday August 24 to disrupt Streameast's dominant
position in the illegal streaming market. Traffic to the site reached
136million average monthly visits, with domains primarily originating from
the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, the Philippines and Germany.
