Several Belgian providers have blocked various websites showing illegal streams of football matches. Owner Eleven and parent company DAZN wanted to enforce this through a lawsuit and a Belgian corporate court agreed.
Telenet, Proximus and Orange Belgium, among others, have blocked about a hundred websites on which the streams could be viewed, reports VRT. “These sites hack the signal of the matches and then broadcast it illegally. The Dutch-speaking corporate court in Brussels has now ruled that this is not possible,” said Telenet.
Eleven/DAZN is the owner of the broadcasting rights for Belgian football, including the Jupiler Pro League. To combat illegal streams, the company filed a lawsuit and the rights holder was successful.
