So if a friend watches a live stream of a football game then there is not really a problem for him?
What if he also streams an old film from time to time? Is there any problem there?
If he doesn't download anything saved to his computer that he shouldn't do, then there is no problem?
Clubs should be allowed to stream their own games via their web sites.
I would happily pay, obviously not as much as a seat in the stands but maybe 10% of the cheapest season ticket would be reasonable.

think of it this way; there is a lot of copyrighted material that will appear on youtube. Highlights of goals or something similar. Watching those highlights on youtube is exactly the same thing as watching a match on firstrow.
Probably in a technical sense watching it is stealing, but companies don;t go after those folks. Its the uploaders, the people who are sharing the files for everyone else to watch or download that is the source of the problem. Thats why P2P gets more of the attention than straight up media streaming. if you are using P2P software you are actually uploading at the same time as you are downloading, so you are part of the group of people sharing the file online.
At least, thats what the Society of JA Lawyers tells me.
Maybe its time for a VPN.

If you don't use one then you need to start doing so saan. Preferably one with options so you can appear to be surfing the web from many places of your choosing.
They'll never stop people from watching matches on live streams like this.
The problem is that people aren't able to watch a lot of games 'legally' even if they want to, since they're not even broadcast in this country.
Show them all for a reasonable fee and people will use legitimate services instead
Its hard to watch even on own BT account as they can't handle users on servers. So frustrating BT when trying to watch a game and they are to busy.
