Lawyers representing the Ultimate Fighting Championship on Thursday
filed a lawsuit against the owner of a Web site whom they allege sells
pirated UFC content.
The U.S. District Court suit states Moazzam Gandu, a resident of
Stafford, Va., and the alleged owner/operator of Rage-Streams.net,
violated copyright laws by charging customers fees to view pirated UFC
pay-per-view streams and past UFC fights.
The suit is the latest move in the UFC’s crackdown on illegal streaming, and the UFC’s general counsel, Lawrence Epstein, told MMAjunkie.com that he hopes the tide begins to turn in the battle against the activity.
