W’Cup: US Seizes 55 Websites For Illegal Live-streaming

Published

on

Fifty-five websites have been seized for illegally live-streaming matches from the World Cup in Qatar, the United States Justice Department said Monday.

The websites were shut down after a FIFA representative identified sites being used to distribute copyright-infringing content without the authorization of the soccer world governing body, the department said in a statement.

FIFA holds exclusive rights to the World Cup, which has reached the semi-final stage.

“While many may believe that such websites do not constitute serious threats, the infringement upon rights holders of any intellectual property is a growing threat to our economic viability,” said special agent James Harris of the Homeland Security Department.
