Spanish football league LaLiga is targeting the operators of popular pirate IPTV service FlujoTV in a U.S. court. In a new filing, the league requests a DMCA subpoena that would compel Google to hand over the personal details of users behind three IP addresses. Assigned to Google, the addresses were allegedly used to illegally stream a recent match between Atlético de Madrid and Villarreal.

Could someone explain for me in laymans terms, how is it that they were using a Google IP as their broadcasting IP?

[-] Neverclear@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 weeks ago

The IP addresses appear to be linked to googleusercontent.com, which is used for user-generated content on various Google services.

This could anything from google drive and email attachments to cached pages and blogger images. They were most likely using google drive file stream.
