Sports Streaming Site Wiziwig Forced to Close

Popular sports streaming site Wiziwig has been forced to close as of 31st December. The site’s owners attribute the move to new laws introduced in Spain – where the site is hosted – that came into effect on 1st January that may result in fines of up € 600,000 and risk of losing the domain for providing illegal streams of copyrighted material.

A post on the Wiziwig website says that the closure is “at least for now,” which suggests it may return. If that is the case, the domain would likely to be hosted by another country. Wiziwig signed off with, “Time will tell if we can find ways to come back…”
