Looks like the PL might be getting serious. Think we need Patty to up his game. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-40727972
''The blocking order will require UK Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to prevent people from illegally accessing streams of its matches'' It's a 'victory' for them in name only, there's a piss easy way round that block.
It all gets to be a slightly bigger pain in the arse though, doesn't it? Is your vpn quick enough, can you get a decent connection, have you got to pay for it, etc. Personally if it isn't reasonably close to 'legit' quality I find it hard to watch. Anyway, since we're not PL anymore...
^this - ever since Shawn Fanning put the Napster software online in '99 the authorities have been fighting a losing battle trying to prevent people from 'sharing', as you say, bring it on.
I think it is a question of what you want. There are plenty of free VPNs I have used to get access to stuff with geo restrictions. But you have no guarantee they are not logging what you do or would hand that information over. If things ever did get serious about them tracking people who watch illegal streams (which is unlikely, they will just go after those put the streamsup) it would be worth paying a bit just to have a company which doesn't keep logs. VPNs are useful for other things, if you are using WiFi hotspots for one, to stop people tracking you and getting access to your details.
Cheers I'd only ever considered it for streaming stuff (in case I decided to do anything which could be considered illegal...in the future obviously)
The Opera web browser has a built in VPN, you can choose from an 'optimal location', which is usually Holland, or you can pick your own location from Canada, US, Germany or Singapore - it works fine for me. As Barca says though, if you want some serious protection you're going to have to pay for it.
A similar order was obtained for the final two months of the 2016-17 season. I didn't really notice any difference. I found plenty of City streams during this period.
City will not be offering a live streaming service this season Hull City will not be offering a live streaming service this season due to considerable costs. The club opted out of the FLi agreement this summer meaning they will not be using iFollow, a streaming service that allows fans overseas to stream games. City will not be doing this due to the costs not being covered by the club’s revenue. Instead the club will be able to provide extensive highlights at 6pm the day after a game. http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/live-hull-city-transfer-news-248379
Surely the overseas markets the Allams have attracted through their commercial acumen and marketing skills would have meant they would make a fortune. Or is it a case of our revenues under these business geniuses are so poor we can'tvafford tge costs of joining? Will be interesting to see which clubs, even without the brilliant leaders we are blessed with, have the revenues to sign up,
It seems the 'bigger clubs' have opted out. http://www.football365.com/news/bigger-clubs-opt-out-of-efls-new-streaming-platform
What about the team whose fans deludeky sing about and name websites WACCOE? They must have millions of fans worldwide.
