Authorities and rights holders disrupted the PirloTV sports piracy network by seizing 44 domains used to direct viewers to unauthorized live sports streams. ACE said the domains drew more than 950 million visits a year, with strong usage in Mexico, Colombia, Spain, and the United States. The operation involved UEFA, UC3, and Mexican authorities, including IMPI, and targeted a platform known for rapidly shifting to new domains after takedowns.
Why it matters: This affects millions of users who rely on unauthorized sports-streaming sites and shows how quickly major piracy networks can be disrupted, especially around high-profile events like the World Cup. It also signals continued cross-border domain seizure and takedown efforts against large online abuse ecosystems.
