[Photo: Courtesy]Mobdro, the world's largest pirate streaming app, has ceased operations following an investigation and criminal referral by the Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE) and the English Premier League, the league said on Thursday. Mobdro illegally streamed video content, including sports, from around the world on smart televisions, smartphones, tablets and other devices, the Premier League said in a statement. "Mobdro's criminal enterprise amounted to long-running and large-scale theft," Premier League Director of Legal Services Kevin Plumb said in the league statement on Thursday. "The protection of our copyright is hugely important to the Premier League and our broadcast partners, as well as the future health of English football." The Premier League has long grappled with the issue of piracy of its content.
