International police operation shuts down one of the world’s largest illegal online streaming services. It is estimated that the service caused 10 billion euros ($10.55 billion) in annual financial damages. The pirated streaming service was run by a transnational, hierarchical organization that illegally captured and resold content from major streaming platforms. The stolen content included live broadcasts, and on-demand programs from broadcasters like Sky, Dazn, Mediaset, Amazon Prime, Netflix, Disney+, and Paramount.
