Acording to The New Zealand Herald, UEFA, European football's governing body, has attacked file-sharing websites YouTube and Flickr for failing to prevent fans from uploading footage of games.

"Alexandre Fourtoy, chief executive of Uefa Media Technologies, compared football's piracy problem to that of the film and music industries, warning that it could harm the game.

Speaking at Uefa's international broadcast centre in Vienna, Fourtoy said: "Piracy is a big problem. There are pirates who steal content to build up a business of their own and we act against them all."
