The U.S. Homeland Security Department has apparently shut down or seized the domains of many of the most popular streaming websites to watch sporting events such as Atdhe.net, Channelsurfing.net, ilemi.com, and firstrow.net.
These websites streamed live sporting events such as NFL and NBA games as well as UFC pay-per-views.
The UFC recently sued the website Justin.tv and they must be very thrilled about today's news.
UFC commentator Joe Rogan is known to say "You can't stop the internet" but it looks like the UFC and the U.S. Homeland Department are trying to do its best to contain the illegal streams.
I wonder if there will be a bigger buy rate for UFC 126 this Saturday night due to the shutdown of many of these streaming sites.
Other websites will pop up and stream sporting events and the battle waged between the UFC and the websites that continue to host illegal streams will continue to go on.

they are breaking the law so... it's expected. Btw, it's just not the UFC.
"NFL and NBA games as well as UFC pay-per-views"
The NFL and the NBA have way more influence than the UFC.

Its the beginning of the end....the illegal sites have opened the door for the gov't to start deciding how surf (regulate the web.) Hopefully, I'm just being paranoid.

They're registered overseas. Does that affect stream speeds/quality?
