Pirate IPTV Data Center Raid Took Down Several Innocent Websites
This week, Dutch fiscal police (FIOD) landed a major success in the battle against this type of piracy by shutting down one of Europe’s largest IPTV operations. This wasn’t just a random target either. The operation presumably offered its services to countless smaller IPTV sellers, which served over a million subscribers.
Little detail was released about the main defendants but authorities report that four people were arrested. The available information also suggests that GLOBE Datacenter was a key target. This makes sense as its website and network have been offline for two days now, downtime matched by the company’s Twitter feed.

The owner of the datacenter used to host Kino.to, and a bunch of other sites back in Germany. They still have a datacenter on the German border, I think. So it makes two datacenters in NL, and only one of them was shut down.
