“Pirates live from advertising and therefore from the flow of connections, they will offer all the sports that attract and the Olympics are strong magnets”, estimated Hervé Lemaire, boss of LeakID. “Not at a crazy level of the Champions League matches, but it is far from negligible when we consider that many events are broadcast on public channels,” the head of this club was almost surprised, authorized by France Télévisions and the International Olympic Committee.
