A number of video websites may face charges because they illegally posted videos of Euro Cup matches, according to the copyright administration of Beijing.

The copyright administration has issued notices requiring the websites to immediately take the videos offline. It will also impose administrative penalties, and added that the infringing sites might be sued by copyright holders.

Only six Chinese websites have the rights to broadcast all or some of the soccer games, including CNTV, PPTV and QQ.
