The Feds strike again:16 Streaming sites go down.

U.S. federal agents arrested a man who allegedly ran several websites that illegally streamed sports content, seizing sixteen domain names. Agents arrested Yonjo Quiora, who they say gave video access to NFL, NBA, NHL, WWE, and TNA events through his websites, after a Department of Homeland Security enforcement presented himself as a WWE employee arranging a meeting to purchase the domain names from him. Quiroa agreed to make a deal, after which the agents made their arrest.

The government seized firstrow.tv, firstrowsports.com, firstrowsports.net, firstrowsports.tv, hq-streams.tv, robplay.tv, soccertvlive.net, sports95.com, sports95.net, sports95.org, sportswwe.net, sportswwe.tv, sportswwe.com, xonesports.tv, youwwe.com, and youwwe.net, which were operated out of Quiroa's Comstock Park, Michigan home since February 2010. He received at least $13,000 in advertising from the operation.

Prosecution move to seize domain names of those sites,so one or two may still be online for now.

Dept. of Homeland Security going after illegal streaming sites?

[krazykraz]

those sites only provided the links from which the content was streamed from... all content was hosted somewhere else.. i used it all the time for sports... the .eu version of the website is still up and kicking for those looking for their sports fix!

[Mr. M]

Do any you think the will try to prosecute any users??

[DsssTester]

Do any you think the will try to prosecute any users??
I doubt it, in past cases they are yet to go after end users of streams. Not saying it could not happen just that there is no precedent as of yet and if and when that day comes i would say for conviction sake they would go after paid membership users not free stream leechers.

[fputs]

This is just a precendent to threaten other streaming sites.

[Condor]

heheheheee.. Then they will most likely bring terrorist charges against the poor guy.....lol

[cezzy2008]

shame what this world is turning into we need are sites and they need to chill on stopping them

[DualTest]

Guess they missed firstrowsports.eu

[fn59]

Guess they missed firstrowsports.eu
Since it is .eu I don't think U.S. government can touch it.

Kinda gives you the feeling that when you wake up one day and go to turn on your computer or tv the first thing you see is a message that says...

"today you are going to see the content we chose for you"

Makes you think now don't it.

Happened before history will repeat itself, as we the human race are unable to learn from our mistakes

[fn59]

Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks along these lines. Trouble is the majority of the population doesn't seem to care, more interested in American Idol or what celebrity is in the news.
Frank Zappa nailed it with his song,"the slime".

child molesters rapist and murder's drug deals might blow there brians out. people watching tv are much safre targets and are more likely to pay a huge fine if caught. its all about safely extorting money from borderline criminals not enforcing the laws. grow up. they arn't going to risk there own lives going after bad guys if they can get money from a few folks watching tv that won't put up a fight,.your talking about a bunch of people that are too lazy to steal and to sorry to work. and you think your going to get them off of there dead rear ends to go catch bad guys if they can get money from people sitting on the couch watching. tv. please pass that over here. lol

I strongly disagree with your reasoning. Not a cop lover, but most of them believe in what they are doing. I know I couldn't do their job, I'd probably execute the molesters. They have bosses to answer to, and are told who to go after. Those bosses have politicians to answer to, that's where policies/agendas are set.

Im wondering where you got that idea at......better yet if someone with more knowledge than I could verify your statement?.........dishuser what do you have to say about UltrAsoniC's tactic to avoid bots and spyders is it gonna work?

[robbinh00d]

Funny how the networks claimed to be losing money and that the lost revenue was "passed on to the ticket holders." In every case like this the price doesn't go down after the "big bust". This has nothing to do with government, but everything to do with lobbyists and special interest groups with ties to the FBI and CIA.
