ACE identified and confronted the site\u2019s Uttar Pradesh-based operator, who transferred watchwrestling.ai and all associated domains to ACE. The sites now redirect to ACE\u2019s \u201cWatch Legally\u201d page.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Over the past year, watchwrestling.ai and its associated domains have reached more than 253 million visits. Most of the traffic originated from the United States, the United Kingdom, India, and Canada.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe shutdown of watchwrestling.ai marks an important victory in our ongoing campaign against the piracy of live sports programs,\u201d said Jan van Voorn, Executive Vice President and Chief of Global Content Protection at the Motion Picture Association and Head of ACE.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe use of piracy sites to view live sporting and pay-per-view events is impacting the sustainability of live event programming. Legal services provide premium entertainment content that is reliable and legal. Piracy funds crime groups and puts consumers at risk of malware infection. This case should serve as a warning to illegal piracy operators everywhere that their days are numbered.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
ACE worked closely with DAZN, one of the world\u2019s leading live-sports streaming services and an ACE member, on this action.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cDAZN has invested significant amounts in building a successful business around combat sports, helping fund the development of MMA and boxing, as well as providing the best quality content and service for fans,\u201d said Ed McCarthy, Chief Operating Office of DAZN Group.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cTo continue to invest, DAZN has to be able to protect its intellectual property. The enforcement work ACE undertakes, as part of its joint Sports Piracy Task Force initiative, is a critical element of this work. It is particularly pleasing to see a criminal endeavor of this size being effectively tackled, and the positive outcome that potential subscribers will be redirected to legitimate providers of content such as DAZN.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ace-shuts-down-globally-popular-live-sports-piracy-site-based-in-india.jpeg", "alt_img": "ACE shuts down globally popular live sports piracy site based in India", "alt_title": "ACE shuts down globally popular live sports piracy site based in India", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "ACE Shuts Down Globally Popular Live Sports Piracy Site Based In India On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "ACE Shuts Down Globally Popular Live Sports Piracy Site Based In India, Sports Piracy Task Force: The Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE), the world\u2019s leading anti-piracy organisation, has shut down live.", "seo_keywords": "Los Angeles, The Alliance, Uttar Pradesh, Watch Legally, United States, United Kingdom, Executive Vice President, Global Content Protection, Motion Picture Association, Ed McCarthy, Chief Operating Office, DAZN Group, Sports Piracy Task Force", "tag": "", "tagging": "Los Angeles, The Alliance, Uttar Pradesh, Watch Legally, United States, United Kingdom, Executive Vice President, Global Content Protection, Motion Picture Association, Ed McCarthy, Chief Operating Office, DAZN Group, Sports Piracy Task Force", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "ace-shuts-down-globally-popular-live-sports-piracy-site-based-in-india", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "768", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2023-10-31 11:02:02", "updated": "2023-10-31 11:02:02", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Los Angeles, The Alliance, Uttar Pradesh, Watch Legally, United States, United Kingdom, Executive Vice President, Global Content Protection, Motion Picture Association, Ed McCarthy, Chief Operating Office, DAZN Group, Sports Piracy Task Force", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2023-10-31 11:02:02", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "0", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "sports_name": "others", "cnmid": "815795", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/sports-news\/ace-shuts-down-globally-popular-live-sports-piracy-site-based-in-india-9974" }
