Something is missing from this story

Josue Hernandez went to a bar in Naples, Florida (of course), and bought drinks for a bunch of ladies for four hours. Then, he figured out that they were cross-dressers.

by Jason Fischer This week, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement shut down a number of websites that were offering live streams of professional sporting events (source).  The central claim was that the video delivered through those websites is protected by copyrights.
