After a second complaint fines of 600.000 euros will be given. They can then force your domain to be blocked, make your website inaccesible, hosting to be shut down, ads to be removed and bank accounts to be closed. Main reason is the ridiculous part of the law that forces sites to follow a strict DMCA policy, in which you need to act within 3 days after receiving a complaint, failing to do so will result in an adminstrative party (the ministry of culture) judging about the complaint. Several other linking sites in Spain decided to close aswell in the past weeks. As you might have heared, 2 weeks ago Google News already decided to close their operations in Spain because of parts of this new law. Several weeks ago, in November, a main part of this new law had been approved, and it will go in affect as from the 1st January 2015. However, since a year Spain has been working on a new law, later followed by another law and proposals to stop the linking on the internet. But we still decided to continue to run this website to provide you with the best links to watch live and free sports on the internet. It also made it more difficult to run advertisements to pay our expenses, and the same applies for donating which has been made impossible. Needless to say that this has cost us a lot of time and money to fight against these fake claims and fake accusations. Main threat has been the English Premier League, who've tried literally anything to shut our website down, to cease our revenues, spread false accusations and who has constantly been chasing us down. Nevertheless it hasn't been easy to operate as since we've started we've been facing a lot of pressure, like fake claims of being unlawfull, being pirates, pressure on hosting, advertising and much more. This has given us the opportunity to run wiziwig for 3 years. It's therefore that we've chosen to operate from Spain, as several higher court cases there have declared linking to be legal. We've also chosen to act as a normal company, as we still believe that linking to other websites isn't wrong, isn't against any law and should be possible without having to hide ourselves behind a proxy or fake registrations. The aim of wiziwig has always been to provide you (everyone) with links to watch live and free sports online, whereever you live. WYSIWYG, easier to remember we decided to change it into WIZIWIG. Wiziwig is a free service, which has been started over 3 years ago and for those who always wondered, we will first explain the meaning of wiziwig: For all those interested in the reasons behind this decision please read further below.
