#Streameast the world’s largest illegal sports streaming platform has been shut down after a year long investigation, according to a leading #UnitedStates based anti-piracy organisation. The network of 80 unauthorised domains generated 1.6billion combined visits over the past year, providing free access to global sports fixtures, including #Europe’s top football leagues and competitions, such as the Premier League and Champions League, as well as the #NFL, #NBA and #MLB. Two men were arrested on suspicion of copyright infringement in El-Sheikh Zaid in the Giza Governorate of #Egypt which is approximately 20 miles west of capital #Cairo and have subsequently been detained. During the raid, authorities seized laptops and smartphones suspected of operating the sites. 👀 via nytimes •aintyoumalcom
