Most OTT services that give access to WatchESPN already have a stream limit right? I know DTVNow is a 2 stream limit....hell as far as I know the tier with ESPN is still a single stream on SlingTV.

ETA Or are you saying that they are only going to let me access WatchESPN from my home IP address....that would suck.

Possibly. I think the biggest issue is going to be how to sell people on ads in their streams.

the problem is that its pretty common to use your stream when not at your house, so you log multiple IPs.

Now watching multiple streams at one time would be trivial to clamp down on.

I think the real threat is the quality of hijacked streams, which are getting much better.
