Clips of matches that may have appeared on video-sharing web sites like YouTube.com are worrying the English Premier League.
The league has hired NetResult to monitor the web for illegal clips of Premier League matches and has ordered YouTube to remove the clips.
It has written to the company demanding an explanation for the thousands of copyrighted clips.
The league wants to crack down on illicit broadcast footage over the Internet so that it does not risk losing its TV rights package, worth GBP 1.8 billion from 2007-10.
