Seeking to put an end to the widespread online theft of their pay-per-view events, the UFC has served subpoenas on websites Justin.tv and Ustream.tv, demanding that they reveal the names of users who illegally provided streams of UFC broadcasts on the sites.

The UFC press release notes that while the sites were originally developed to bring user-generated content to live audiences, many users have instead chosen to use the site to illegally broadcast or upload copyrighted material, including UFC events.
