Registrars are no longer asked only who holds a domain name, but how that holder pays. On 19 August 2026, Belgium’s Department for Combating Online Infringements of Copyright (BAPO) issued five decisions ordering Hosting Concepts, Hostinger, Key Systems and one registry to disclose, within ten working days, data on the holders of domain names used by illegal sports streaming sites. Implementing orders obtained by DAZN and The 12th Player before the French-speaking Business Court of Brussels, and relying on Article 10 of the Digital Services Act and Articles XVII.34/1 et seq. of the Code of Economic Law, the request goes far beyond WHOIS: identities, full IBANs, crypto wallets, IP addresses and twelve months of connection logs, under a strict duty of silence. Measured against the case law of the Court of Justice (Promusicae, Mircom, Coty Germany, La Quadrature du Net), this “follow the money” turn raises questions of territoriality, proportionality and data protection, and opens a path that online brand protection may one day borrow.
