When Argentina won the FIFA World Cup in 2022, the entire country was watching.

With an audience of many millions, piracy is unquestionably popular in Argentina. Rightsholders are happy with that, but they\u2019ve also complained about a lack of enforcement<\/a> against pirate streaming services.<\/p>\n The tide appears to have turned recently, in part because site blocking tools are improving. Last year, local anti-piracy outfit Alianza<\/a> obtained the country\u2019s first dynamic site blocking order<\/a>, requiring local ISPs to restrict access to thirty sports streaming sites. <\/p>\n While the blocking order had an effect, plenty of piracy alternatives remained available. This prompted Alianza to refer more sites to the local authorities, including a person of interest, who is believed to play a pivotal role. <\/p>\n The Argentine Justice Department followed up on this lead and this week ordered local Internet providers to block access to more than 50 pirate sites. The sites use the popular sports streaming brands \u201cFutbol Libre\u201d and \u201cMegadeportes\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n A full list of domain names hasn\u2019t been published, but it would make sense that the most visited ones, including futbollibretv.fr, futbollibretv.pe, futbollibre.futbol and megadeportestv2.online are included. <\/p>\n The Megadeportes domains are of particular interest. The alleged founder and operator of a \u2018ring\u2019 of these sites was arrested in the province of Mendoza by the Specialized Prosecutor\u2019s Unit for the Investigation of Cybercrimes<\/em>, then transported 1,200 kilometers to Buenos Aires for questioning.<\/p>\n The arrest is part of a criminal case and also involved a raid, during which computers and other evidence related to the crimes was seized. The unnamed suspect stands accused of violating copyright law for his part in the sports streaming operations. <\/p>\n The allegations against the suspect go further than simply operating streaming sites. According to Alianza President Jorge Bacaloni, the man also consulted for others, providing them with the necessary information to run their own pirate sports streaming portals. <\/p>\n \u201cThe defendant was engaged in supplying content and programming tools to other pirate operators, such as access codes to violate the security mechanisms implemented by the companies, used to feed their services.<\/p>\n \u201cHe was a kind of consultant for the administration of illegal streaming services,\u201d Bacaloni adds in his commentary on the case.<\/p>\n According to a local report from Infobae<\/a>, the authorities mentioned that the suspect used the alias \u201cKahsad\u201d, under which he apparently founded the \u201cMegadeportes\u201d pirate sites. <\/p>\n Somewhat unusual is the prominent mention of a free Google-hosted blog, kahsadtvonline.blogspot.com, where \u201cillegal access\u201d to sports streams including \u201cFutbol Libre\u201d was offered. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n At the time of writing, this outdated blog is still online<\/a>, although it doesn\u2019t look all that advanced<\/a>. In fact, there\u2019s no sign of any new updates in recent years. The only links we see are a few basic non-functioning embeds, which could have been wiped out by Google through a takedown notice.<\/p>\n In our search for information we found some other \u201cKahsad\u201d and \u201cMegadeportes\u201d traces, but these don\u2019t provide additional clarity.<\/p>\n Google searches indeed link the two names together. For example, they point to a GitHub profile with 5 followers<\/a> and a GitHub-hosted sports streaming site with over a million monthly visits that\u2019s currently offline<\/a>. Whether these are indeed connected to the suspect is unknown.<\/p>\n Perhaps more information will become available when the prosecution progresses. Local authorities are taking the piracy problem seriously and appear willing to act. Whether the effort will be sufficient to make a serious dent in pirate streaming numbers remains to be seen. <\/p>\n From: TF<\/a>, for the latest news on copyright battles, piracy and more.<\/p>\n50+ New Site Blocks, One Arrest<\/h2>\n
