We constantly see how they block web domains and close pages related to piracy. For example, watching movies and series online, downloading music, or also watching sporting events online. Of the latter, we echo the latest news related to The league. They have given a new blow to try to prevent matches from being watched over the Internet without paying. Specifically, they have focused on a app called Noddy and what we are going to talk about.
fight piracy It is not always an easy task and many strategies come into play to really lower the amount of content that is broadcast illegally. Especially in sport we see it frequently. In addition, it has something that differentiates it from other topics: current events. A game is broadcast live, logically.
The League asks to eliminate Nodito
Nodito is a popular hacking app. Basically it allows you to watch live broadcasts without paying, such as a football match. This software is open source and available at GitHub. Precisely, the maneuver that they have done from La Liga is to ask GitHub to remove this application from its servers.
It must be borne in mind that La Liga, as the main football competition in Spain is known, is not only seen in our country, but millions of people from all over the world watch matches every week. The fact that there are applications or pages of this type inevitably causes income decrease of the competition.
The League has expert trackers They are in charge of constantly reviewing the network to detect hacking pages and programs. When they detect that a game is being broadcast illegally, they look for a way to block it. But of course, new pages are constantly appearing, with new domains, as well as different programs. This makes a task that may seem simple, very complicated.
In their task of detecting sites and programs that may clash with the interests of La Liga, they have found that GitHub is the apk file of the Nodito application and ask to be removed. The goal is to make it unavailable for users to download so they can watch matches illegally.
Link matches without permission
What they indicate from La Liga is that the application of Nodito link to live streams First and Second Division matches. Those matches are streamed online without permission from the organization and thus ask GitHub to remove the software from its servers and make it unavailable.
Specifically, they point to the user Nodoapps, which is the one that hosts the file on GitHub. They ensure that this user has no right to put links of this type for illegitimate retransmissions. This supposes a violation of the audiovisual rights of La Liga and they hold GitHub responsible.
It seems that the call from La Liga has taken effect and from GitHub they have deleted the file. If now a user tries to access the URL that contained the Nodito application, a message will appear. Error 404.
But of course, as we mentioned earlier, the fight against piracy It is constant and new methods appear. Although the original file has been deleted, it didn’t take long for the same user to upload it to another address and it’s available again. Will La Liga contact GitHub again? Always be aware of the danger of viewing pirated content on the Internet.
