TechNadu has posted an image from TorrentFreak which shows that the company is sending warnings. In the email, it is explained that the company has the exclusive rights for the upcoming World Cup. The email adds the channels that will be showing the games and a warning for the site not to be involved in any broadcasting of World Cup matches.
