some of you guys have no clue about copyright laws

they need a compete overhaul in the digital age

a. the fact that you can be jailed for this is pretty comical. and don't compare this to stealing. there was no actual theft of any object. there is nothing tangible that is lost which must be replaced

b. i don't see how a person having a page with links to OTHER PEOPLE breaking copyright laws is, in fact, stealing anything from anyone. the persons who owned the links are the revenue thieves

not the same argument

that would be the people who sold the person's hosting the content the software/hardware to stream the content

I think the thing that got the proprietor arrested was selling ad space.

it would be illegal if you stood to profit by it in any way. in the case of this website, by ad revenue.


Yes I would charge my friend to watch a game for free. Atdhe was shut down a few days before the Super Bowl and I don't recall ever seeing ads on their site.

Homeland Security are the field agents that do the duty for the Department of Justice(where the arrest originated).
