The UFC is using its status as the industry leader in pay-per-view television to also become the leader in cracking down on companies that allow people to watch pay-per-view events online, without paying.
Zuffa, the UFC’s parent company, announced Friday that it filed a lawsuit against Justin.tv, for what it calls “Justin.tv’s repeated and ongoing failure to meaningfully address the rampant and illegal uploading of video of live Pay-Per-View UFC events by members and users of the Justin.tv website.
Justin.tv (which did not immediately respond to a request for comment) calls itself “the easiest way to create live video and show anyone in the world.” The site says that it respects copyright law and bans users who violate it.
