00:00Teams, StreamEast, the world's largest illegal sports streaming platform,

00:06has been shut down after a year-long investigation, per The Athletic.

00:10The network of 80 unauthorized domains generated 1.6 billion combined visits over the past year,

00:19providing free access to global sports fixtures such as the Premier League and Champions League,

00:24as well as the NFL, NBA, and MLB.

00:27So the soccer's probably driving a lot of this.

00:29It's my understanding this is like an Egyptian company or Egyptian website.

00:35It's probably based in Egypt.

00:37That don't necessarily mean it's Egyptian.

00:39Right.

00:39It's somebody from around the world that's probably saying, oh, this is a good spot to set it up.

00:44Well, I can't help but notice this illegal streaming website that's the biggest in the world.

00:53It's two days before the first NFL game of the year.

00:57Then it got busted.

00:59I'm not saying that Champions League and EPL and all these soccer is not huge,

01:05and we know hockey and basketball is coming up, and that's huge.

01:09But, like, they took this joint down two days before the NFL opens.

01:13In the United States.

01:14Yeah.

01:15And it says a lot.

01:17And the NFL all of a sudden has gotten more and more streaming partners, right?

01:20Amazon, YouTube, Netflix, not to mention just NBC, CBS, Fox.

01:26I understand.

01:28Listen, it's all business and it's all money for the NFL, but I'll say this.

01:33Don't get caught up as a young person.
