According to TorrentFreak, the English Premier League has initiated legal action in the United States against HesGoal’s website operators. Their goal is to take down the website.
The Premier League has filed a DMCA subpoena. They hope that Cloudflare, HesGoal’s CDN provider, will disclose information about the site operators.
Interestingly, the Premier League is not just seeking information about the operators themselves. They are also requesting information to identify individuals connected to the HesGoal website. This includes details like names, email addresses, phone numbers, and IP addresses. TorrentFreak has reported that Cloudflare has previously provided payment information in similar cases.
Cloudflare is no stranger to DMCA subpoena requests. They and other CDN providers frequently receive these requests from copyright authorities.
We have witnessed numerous instances of ACE and the MPA targeting streaming websites. This trend is expected to continue.
Our research indicates that the original HesGoal domain (hesgoal.com) is still active.
There’s even a Twitter account that claims to be the official HesGoal source.

Ultimately, if the court grants the Premier League’s requests, the usefulness of the information obtained from Cloudflare remains to be seen.
Operators of pirate streaming websites are often aware of DMCA subpoenas. They frequently take preventative measures to shield themselves from legal action.

Will HesGoal Users be Contacted by Authorities?
The current situation with HesGoal and its users is uncertain. What’s happening behind the scenes is not public knowledge.
There have been instances where pirate website operators have handed over sensitive information. This includes user data, streaming history, and identifying IP addresses. In some cases, this valuable data is even sold to third parties.
To stay safe, it’s crucial to stream only content that is not protected by copyright. Using a VPN can offer an additional layer of protection.
