Feds seize sports websites before Super Bowl (http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0211/48692.html)


The federal government has seized the Web addresses of 10 websites that allegedly live stream sporting and pay-per-view events online, shutting them down just days before one of the biggest televised sporting events of the year: the Super Bowl.

The websites, which include channelsurfing.net and Spain-based rojadirecta.org, were said to illegally provide access to content from the major professional sports organizations, namely the National Football League, National Basketball Association and the National Hockey League. The sites do not host the pirated sporting content themselves, but instead provide links to other websites where people can access it illegally.

Looks like slingbox is the way to go from here on out. If you know someone that gets the games you want, have them hook up a sling box for you.

For those of you scoring at home...they still have not "caught" Osama Bin Laden, but they have stopped the illegal streaming of copyrighted material. Whew!!!!

Slingbox only works if you get the games on your TV to start with.

Osama is long dead. He got smart bombed to oblivion years ago. Lucky for us (westerners) that the terrorists perpetrating his continued existence are too dumb to realize that his true martyrdom would be more effective for their cause than pretending as if his *****azz is still breathing.

They can close down as many sites as they want. It wont make a difference. As long as the internet continues to exist as is, there will always be streaming sites.

Teenagers who get free music threaten a free and democratic society.

I for one am happy our government always does all the right things. Corporations are people too, you know.

I said you have to get someone you know, a friend or relative that gets the games you want to watch to hook it up to their TV for you.

In other words, living in Fla, I could have my cousin in Buffalo hook it up & see the Bills & Sabres when they are shown on TV in Buffalo on my computer here in Fla.

Agreed, but it can be done.

Thank God.

Teenagers who get free music threaten a free and democratic society.The only thing they threaten is a corrupted corporate society that believes the world owes them something.
