Illegal PL streaming - 11 years in prison for "gang" leader.

My unpopular opinion is that £600 is a very competitive price relative to all other forms of entertainment.

That's a subscription for Prime, BT Sport and Sky/NowTV sports. For that you get 200 PL games (usually 32/38 City games) 15 league cup games, 14 FA Cup all European games (533 across all 3 competitions).

That's not including 1,000 football league games (plus 30 conference games), Bundesliga, Ligue 1, Serie A, Copa del Rey, International matches, Formula 1, Cricket, NFL, Rugby Union (international, premiership and European) and League, Tennis, Darts, Golf and NBA. Plus all the usual Amazon Prime TV shows.


Would I like it to be cheaper? Sure. But for £50 a month I watch as much sport as I could possibly want to. Most of the time there's too much on and I have to choose.

The 3 or 4 times a year City aren't televised, I'll take the dog for a walk and listen on the radio. Over the winter, I probably watch 60-80 hours a month of sport.

Compare that to the price per hour of Netflix, going to a film, the theatre, buying a hardcover book, a night out, a takeaway...it's actually very good value.

It is great value if you watch all those leagues and different sports, but if you just want to watch one it’s far too much.

I subscribe to Sky Sports for the PL football, just because I also get F1 doesn’t make it good value because I don’t watch F1. I also subscribe to BT Sport for City in the PL and CL, just because Halifax v Bromley is accessible at 5.20pm on a Saturday doesn’t make it good value.

What you are saying is no different to saying a £600 flight ticket to Faro is great value because you can also go to Barcelona, Marseille and Munich, but I don’t want to go to those places, I want to go to Faro.

This. The golden age of internet piracy was the early 2000s, and why? Because you couldn't get a lot of stuff anywhere else. Who pirates music nowadays when you can get everything on Spotify? Who's torrenting movies now when every movie is available online? I hadn't streamed football for months until the other day I switched on my officially licenced and fully paid for streaming service and found they didn't have the second leg against Real because of some technical fault on my account. People stream football illegally because you don't make it available. As long as that's the case, it's always going to be a thing and they'll never stop it no matter how many times they try to guilt people into not watching.

No more "shady" links since I paid for Hotstar.in, Sooka.my and PureVPN. All my football covered.
 
When I moved to Oz every single game was on fox sports, I was watching more football than ever but at ridiculous hours & I’d become an overseas tv fan.

Then they started breaking it up, prem on fox, fa cup on another channel & champs league on another so suddenly the explosion in chipped boxes. There’s not a Pom I know that doesn’t have a box.
 
To watch all footy on tv in the UK now you'd need a sky sports subscription, bt sports, plus Amazon. Why can each game only be sold to one broadcaster? Isn't that monopolistic, in a market where customers are actually fanatical, even religious, in their support for their team. It doesn't matter that sky have 100 games and bt 59 or whatever, most fans want to watch their team and just their team, and have no choice once the schedule is chopped up and shared out.

You're talking £80 per month just for sports, not even including broadband and other tv channels. That's nearly a grand per year, you can get a season ticket for cheaper at most grounds.

But that would still only give you the broadcasted games, not them all. And even the broadcasted games, you probably don't want to watch more than 20% of them.

They force you to take one or two year contacts for these channels too, but won't tell you which games they're showing until the month before.

You could eve argue that if you made it cheaper, and made all games available but more flexibility to choose which you pah for and which you don't, more football would get watched and more people would become interested in the game and eventually actually go to the football too.

And all for a one eyed biased red top pumping propaganda service.
 
Won’t work and will actually just make the guys providing these services all the more savvy and harder to catch.

The sentences are beyond mental. No one got hurt apart from the greedy cunts who run these TV companies.

“What you in for?”

“Brentford v Forest mate”.

Embarrassing as fuck this country at times.
