U.S. seizes sites that stream live sporting events

By Los Angeles Times

Days before the Super Bowl, government authorities in New York seized several streaming Web sites that they accused of illegally showing live and pay-per-view sports events.

Content on web sites such as Rojadirecta.org, Channelsurfing.net and ATDHE.net was replaced by a note saying that the domain names were seized by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement through seizure warrants obtained by the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York.

None of the three popular sites, which feature live sports and other programming, are hosted in the U.S. Ten sites total were seized Monday, including HQ-Streams.com, HQ-Streams.net, Firstrow.net, Ilemi.com, Iilemi.com, Iilemii.com and Rojadirecta.com.
