LaLiga, the Spanish football top league, was fined $280,000 for privacy violations because of its official app. Simply, the app was a spy, turning phones into police force for find illegal game broadcasters. Sometimes, you begin to wonder if it is the game or the money that matters!

As we reported a year ago, users of the LaLiga app were outraged to discover the smartphone software does rather more than show minute-by-minute commentary of football matches — but can use the microphone and GPS of fans’ phones to record their surroundings in a bid to identify bars which are unofficially streaming games instead of coughing up for broadcasting rights.
