The illegal streaming platform has been providing links to La Liga matches since 2014 online and, as Relevo reports, Rojadirecta was ordered to repay €31.6 million in damages to MediaPro. It was one of the largest illegal streaming platforms in Spain.

The owner, Igor Seoane, has lived in Malta for a few years, but was taken to court last week. That said, the court ruled that Rojadirecta was responsible for the costs, as was Seoane himself, which was celebrated by La Liga president Javier Tebas.

The pirates have fallen

“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 is pushing for legislative changes around the world to combat piracy. Criticism against it centers on the fact that watching La Liga in Spain costs at least twice as much as in Italy, Germany or France, even though Spain has the lowest average income.
