It amazes me that the majority of sites taken down are just to watch live sports, mainly (actual) football. There's a lot of money to gain from pirating that stuff, huh.

TV rights for football are ridiculously expensive so it makes sense that they'd need to curb as much piracy as they can to make the most of that.

They demand >6-figure €s for broadcasting rights in Germany
