    This is probably naive, but if they know about this, seemingly enough to trace ips and time spent streaming it, how come its so hard for them to block it?

      You block one service, 10 more will appear. You cannot fight piracy, you can only migitate it.

    In France we at least got the finale on free TV. But you had to pay to see any other match of the competition.

    And they still make a ton of money because all the ads are also visible in the free streams.

      I saw ads for Irish companies directed at Irish citizens. Never even heard of 90% of them before so not sure how effective they were lol
