Streameast Shutdown: Major Blow to Illegal Sports Streaming Empire!
The Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment and Egyptian authorities have scored a major touchdown by shutting down Streameast, the world’s largest illegal live sports streaming network. With over 136 million monthly visits, this platform gave free access to sports like soccer, NFL, and Formula One. Looks like Streameast has been benched for good!
Hot Take:
In a twist worthy of a Hollywood thriller, the Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE) and Egyptian authorities have pulled the plug on Streameast, the world’s most notorious illegal streaming service. Clearly, Streameast should have downloaded some ‘How to Stay Under the Radar’ tutorials instead of streaming those Premier League matches. Now, the only streaming they’ll be doing is in a courtroom!
Key Points:
- Streameast, a major illegal sports streaming service, has been shut down by ACE and Egyptian authorities.
- The platform offered free, ad-supported HD streams of licensed sports content, operating through 80 domains.
- Streameast’s illegal broadcasts included coverage of major soccer leagues and various international sports events.
- Two individuals were arrested in Egypt, with evidence linking them to a UAE shell company for laundering advertising revenue.
- Despite the crackdown, some domains remain active, suggesting a game of digital whack-a-mole is on the horizon.
