World's largest sports piracy site shut down by police
The Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE) collaborated with Egyptian police to shut down Streameast, the world's largest sports piracy site, visited over 1.6 billion times in a year. Streameast illicitly streamed events like Premier League matches and Formula One races, impacting the $60bn sports broadcasting industry. Two suspects were arrested in Egypt, with authorities seizing equipment and uncovering alleged money laundering. This crackdown underscores efforts to combat digital piracy and protect sports leagues, entertainment providers, and fans globally.
