U.S. shuts 16 sports piracy websites pre-Super Bowl - Yahoo! News

(Reuters) - Three days before Super Bowl XLVI, U.S. prosecutors said they seized 16 websites that illegally streamed live sports and pay-per-view events over the Internet, and charged a Michigan man with running nine of those websites.

According to the government, the 16 websites provided links to give viewers easy access to other sites that hosted pirated telecasts from the National Football League, National Basketball Association, National Hockey League, World Wrestling Entertainment Inc ("WWE") and TNA Impact Wrestling. The latter is also broadcast on Viacom Inc's Spike TV.

The websites are firstrow.tv, firstrowsports.com, firstrowsports.net, firstrowsports.tv, hq-streams.tv, robplay.tv, soccertvlive.net, sports95.com, sports95.net, sports95.org, sportswwe.net, sportswwe.tv, sportswwe.com, xonesports.tv, youwwe.com and youwwe.net.

Fuck the Police! Most of that shit is on free cable. How am I gonna see european soccer matches now? Fuck those capitalistic fuckers! I am honestly thinking the 12/21/12 thing is going to be the start of a new American Civil War which essentially means the end of our world. Fuck this shit.

So, SOPA wasn't really necessary after all?

[SteveRobWhatever]

Pretty much.

Well, at least the .eu versions are still up for people. Can they also shut down sites overseas?

[Dragonite]

No,doesnt mean they havent and wont try but legally they cant which is why TPB still exists.
