Not a lot of public information is available about why the Hesgoal domain and offering has been ceased by the FBI. However, usually the US authorities get involved when there are copyright infringements for sports popular in the US such as American Football (NFL), Baseball (MLS), Basketball (NBA), Ice Hockey (NHL), Boxing or MMA UFC. Hesgoal did include these sports into their streaming offer representing an alternative view to the US authorities on how copyright regulations apply to a site operated out of the Netherlands. Hesgoal also had ongoing disputes with British media company Sky around its offering for the English Premier League as well as the CONCACAF Champions League.
