Do You Use Steam East? Not Anymore
Streameast, world’s largest illegal sports streaming platform, shut down in sting
Streameast — the world’s largest illegal sports streaming platform — has been shut down after a year long investigation, according to a leading United States-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.
Traffic to the site reached 136million average monthly visits, with domains primarily originating from the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, the Philippines and Germany.
“ACE scored a resounding victory in its fight to detect, deter, and dismantle criminal perpetrators of digital piracy: by taking down the largest illegal live sports platform anywhere,” said Charles Rivkin, chairman of ACE and chairman and CEO of the Motion Picture Association (MPA).
“With this landmark action, we have put more points on the board for sports leagues, entertainment companies, and fans worldwide — and our global alliance will stay on the field as long as it takes to identify and target the biggest piracy rings across the globe.”
“It’s further proof that no piracy network is beyond the reach of coordinated global enforcement.”

They are coming down hard on pirate sites because of lost revenue.

As in all things commerce related the question is whether it's worth it to you.
Because of my absolute refusal to give AT&T a single penny, I had to go out to see most Raider games. When I tried doing the VPN thing it didn't work worth a shit. It was so bad I just listened to the radio broadcast (which was a little less awful).
When Sunday Ticket went to YouTube I jumped on it because the $ was worth it to me. I always compare the money it costs me for Sunday Ticket to the price of a single game ticket. It's a great value IMO.

Agreed.Had DTV when it 1st came out and had the Sunday Ticket. Fell on hard times and had to cut the Satalite since I was paying Cox anyways. Tried the pirate sites with less than the best results.Opoponax50 wrote: Thu Sep 11, 2025 8:22 am As in all things commerce related the question is whether it's worth it to you.

Now I have Youtube/prime/paramount/ESPN+/Big+ and every other PREMIUM f[raiders_icon]cking channel known to man except Netflix.
I have forgone a funeral so that I can enjoy shit while I'm still alive.
Going to go fro my death bed to the crematorium to an urn to a trip out to Deadwood South Dakota and have my ashes scattered in Boot Hill.
Hopefully that won't be for another 20 or so.
Knock wood if yer with me.
