Seems to depend on how much attention it gets. Pro leagues don't last very long, for instance, but you can watch most of the midseason college basketball games in their entirety

I watched every LSU football game on Youtube last season. Occasionally one would get taken down but then I'd just jump to the next one no problem.

YouTube hasn’t seemed to care the past couple seasons, now that’s just for the regular season. Playoff games and the bigger bowl games are a different story.

Nothing against College Baseball but it’s not doing the numbers or bringing in the money that the college football playoffs do. It’s probably not a top priority for them to go after the streams.

Football is still a few months away though

There might be some kind of deal to cover fan-casts.
Urinating Tree is on YouTube but you can't embed on another site - you have to actually be on YouTube to watch.

ETA: My 18 yr old son has become a big UFC fan over the past two years. Him and his friends have only watched illegal streams. If not for having those available, he wouldn't give a shite about UFC.
The funniest running bit about that is Dana doing a big show and dance about how he’s got FBI agents trained on everyone putting up those streams and daring people to stream it….which they promptly do and nothing happens :lol.

Don't know what you are talking about...streaming doesn't exist on YouTube!!!

There is no “out” for people that watch an illegal stream. You are still breaking copyright law. Nobody is going to go after individuals, but don’t think that just watching is on the up and up
quote:The main reason they would come after you is commercialization. If you make the stream publicly viewable, i.e., at a pub or restaurant/bar, illegally showing streams like, NFL games or high-profile fights, they are going to come after you. Usually, at your home, if an ISP is presented with evidence of illegal streaming, like from a Kodi Android device, they can block the access to the illegal streaming service from your IP addresses and throttle your speeds.
In the United States, watching an online stream of copyrighted content without proper authorization can be considered illegal under certain circumstances, though the legal implications are nuanced and depend on specific factors.
While watching unauthorized streams of copyrighted content can be illegal in the U.S., the likelihood of individual viewers facing legal action is low but not zero. Civil penalties, ISP actions, and cybersecurity risks are the primary concerns.

Yea. Nobody will likely get in trouble just from watching at home. But the poster I responded to made it sound like people who just watched weren’t doing anything wrong and that’s just not true.
