TL;DR

Four people were arrested in a City of London Police-led crackdown across Greater Manchester and Lancashire on a £3m illegal TV streaming network. Ten servers and other equipment worth about £750,000 were seized as investigators say the operation disrupted an organised scheme that generated more than £3m in revenue and involved conspiracy to distribute copyright-infringing content and money laundering; suspects were released under investigation after servers were shut down following the tip from Sky.
