La Liga achieves a great victory when the pirate streaming service must pay 31.6 million euros

The League has made efforts to fight against the illegal broadcasting of football matches in recent years and has achieved a great victory.

The illegal streaming platform has been providing links to La Liga matches online since 2014 and, as reported by Relevo, Rojadirecta has been ordered to reimburse MediaPro €31.6 million in damages and compensation. They were one of the largest illegal streaming platforms in Spain.

The owner, Igor Seoane, has been living in Malta for the past few years, but was brought to justice last week. That said, the court ruled that Rojadirecta was responsible for the expenses, as was Seoane himself, which was celebrated by La Liga president Javier Tebas.

“They fall, and those who fall, and they will be big fish. Google, Cloudfare, among others… They also make money from this theft.” he tweeted.

Tebas has said in the past that he spends more than half his time fighting piracy and has been pushing for changes to laws around the world to fight piracy. Criticism against it has focused on the fact that watching La Liga in Spain is at least twice as expensive as in Italy, Germany or France, despite the fact that Spain has the lowest average income.
