[Saba Sports News] Recently, a French court ordered the blocking of football pirate websites that broadcast La Liga. According to Spanish media reports, this is the first time that France has blocked pirated websites that infringe on the rights and interests of foreign sports events in accordance with the French Sports Law. Previously, the Spanish Professional League submitted a list to the French audiovisual and digital media authorities. The court has required Internet service providers to block the websites mentioned in this list to prevent La Liga and La Liga games from being pirated again. Earlier, La Liga chairman Javier Tebas said at the Intellectual Property Summit in Miami that piracy has cost the Spanish professional league billions of euros, and he will make piracy parties pay the price. Tebas believes that searching for illegal football live streams online is as criminal as searching for “cocaine” and “child porn”. Despite this, illegal live streams can still be easily found by anyone who wants to.
