U.S. federal agents arrested a man who allegedly ran several websites that illegally streamed sports content, seizing sixteen domain names. Agents arrested Yonjo Quiora, who they say gave video access to NFL, NBA, NHL, WWE, and TNA events through his websites, after a Department of Homeland Security enforcement presented himself as a WWE employee arranging a meeting to purchase the domain names from him. Quiroa agreed to make a deal, after which the agents made their arrest.

The government seized firstrow.tv, firstrowsports.com, firstrowsports.net, firstrowsports.tv, hq-streams.tv, robplay.tv, soccertvlive.net, sports95.com, sports95.net, sports95.org, sportswwe.net, sportswwe.tv, sportswwe.com, xonesports.tv, youwwe.com, and youwwe.net, which were operated out of Quiroa's Comstock Park, Michigan home since February 2010. He received at least $13,000 in advertising from the operation.

$*%*@!!! Looks like I'm gonna have to find a new site to watch PPVs on free now. Damn it was good watching it free for the past 3 years too.

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY would he accept to sell the domain names to the company he's ripping off?! Somehow I doubt it would've made a difference but seriously, that's just icing on the cake.

I've went through their domains and nothing is down yet. WWE and most sports are still streaming live right now. I remember someone telling me this was a foreign ran site anyway so I doubt the US can do anything from their end right?

If they shut it down, I think I'll have to go back to watching it in Spanish free. I know enough of that to enjoy it. Used to watch AAA for a whole summer in Spanish so PPVs in Spanish won't kill me.

Sad part is, you still paid too much.

They took down all those sites, but didn't nab firstrowsports.eu ...at least not yet.
