I heard that sky were putting a block on premier league games being streamed, and it seems to have worked so far. The channels work until the game starts, then the channel stops working. Or so I've been told by a mate!
Wonder if el Classico will be on the later? To all my mate like..

El Classico is not PL. So all streams will be working (so I hear)Originally Posted by BlueArmy 86
I watched first half of Liverpool and Watford ok
El Classico working fine. I'm reliably informed
use a vpn
Just the first step in the war against this activity. Many people pay to watch this stuff.
Are you still thieving mate?

Imagine if everyone did it, the football industry would be dead in weeks.
It's like these people are stealing from sky! And it's not like sky are robbing customers!!
I think Tesco are robbing me, I'll just nip in, fill my trolley and nip out without paying.
British Gas are definitely robbing me, maybe I can set up a pipe from my next door's gas mains to ours?
But you could go to another shop and buy, I don't know, a fire stick or something? Everyone's doing it...
If everyone's doing it then it must be ok.
Chill Rupert
Well done.
I can't decide what I prefer, him banging on about thieves or his self imposed exile. They're both thoroughly entertaining topics and I certainly can't get enough of his contributions to them. More of the same please Kris. :thunbup:
I know you can't get enough of them, you mention me in practically any posts on these subjects.
Or......If everyone's doing it then it must be ok.
Clubs wouldn't be able to sign players for £200m or pay them the equivalent of a lottery win every year, clubs would have to rely on developing local youth talent, games would kick off at 3pm on a saturday, there'd be less "celebrity fans" and football might return to being a sport rather than a business.
Not true, I rarely post in the rebrand threads and certainly don't mention you in them. :hugs:
The football industry would be adjust, it would just mean wages dropped drastically. Football's not like the film industry which really only has one revenue stream and is majorly affected by piracy (and music, to a lesser extent as bands can still play live).

Not sure Sky would survive though if it had to honour the contracts.
if it wasn't for sky, the money in football wouldn't be so inflated. We could have had salary caps, limits on transfer fees etc but sky keep driving the prices up due to the extortionate price they're able to charge the public to watch the odd game. Clubs are in debt due to the money they've had to spend on players, it's unsustainable, and it's a knock or effect of what sky has done to football.
If my mate wants to keep streaming then I don't really blame him..
OK. So, in 2-3 years time the new TV rights come up. In the meantime "everyone" has started streaming and stopped paying. Advertisers have stopped advertising. Sky and BT go to the PL and say "This is not worth any money any more".
Stoke City, Swansea City, Burnley, maybe even Cardiff are all in the Premier League and no longer have the means to pay players on long contracts the wages that they were on last season.
In your ideal world, those clubs will ditch the expensive signings and bring in a load of rookies. Are the stadiums still full? And the wealthy owners, with their clubs getting no coverage, are they still in the boardrooms? If they are, how long before results like Burnley winning at Chelsea become impossible, let alone a Leicester City winning the league.
Are Sky charging too much? For some, yes, but they are getting enough subscriptions to back up their pricing. Have Sky been good for football, absolutely not, but the game is now wholly reliant on the TV companies continuing to spend silly money to cover a single game.
Is it morally acceptable to get things for free that other people pay for - would it be ok if people did that to your workplace or business?
I can see where you are coming from, but it's a weak attempt to justify what people are doing - and that is stealing. I can't go into Tesco and pick up what I want and refuse to pay for them because I want Tesco checkout staff to get a pay-rise. People think this is different because it is intangible. I know a musician who loses thousands to illegal downloads every year. If that is ok by you, then it's worrying. If it's not ok, then is it ok to do it to Sky and BT purely because they are rich corporates? If so, then why don't we all just stop paying for anything ever?
Just in the TV ones then. :kiss:
