Piracy Party Crashed: Photocall Forced to Hang Up on 26 Million Users!
Photocall, a TV piracy streaming platform with over 26 million users annually, has been forced to cease operations after a crackdown by the Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment and DAZN. The service illegally offered access to 1,127 channels, including sports like MotoGP and Formula 1, leaving fans wondering if it’s time to find a new hobby.
Hot Take:
Photocall, the Netflix for pirates, has finally dropped anchor, and it looks like they’re not coming back for a sequel. With 26 million users left to fend for themselves, it seems the only thing they’ll be streaming now is an ocean of tears. ACE and DAZN have given this pirate ship the Titanic treatment, leaving the internet a little less lawless and a lot less entertaining. So long, Photocall, and thanks for all the fishy streams!
