Five men who illegally streamed Premier League football matches to tens of thousands of people have been jailed.
The gang sold cut-price £10-a-month subscriptions, bragging they made money showing games not otherwise available to watch live in the UK because of "blackout" broadcasting rules.
The gang made £7.2m between 2016 and 2021, according to the league. Gould personally made more than £1.7m.
That's quite a lot of money. He must be living nicely. Let's see.
Nope still just a shitty London flat xD
The case has highlighted a demand for illegal streaming, created by the unavailability of many football matches on TV.
Uefa allows the Premier League to prevent broadcasts of UK matches between 14:45 and 17:15 on Saturdays.
The "blackout", in place for decades, is to encourage fans to attend matches, at all levels of football, rather than watch on TV.
I'd respect that if it were true but I'm kind of guessing it's not. idk if that means all subscription services available in the UK are b& from showing matches.
But fans thinking of subscribing to illegal streams could be setting themselves up for another headache.
"You get sports and you are getting a cheap price," Mr Love says. "But you're committing an offence and putting yourself in danger.
"You are contributing to organised crime who won't be paying taxes and can make a quick buck by selling your details on."
These could be used to steal money or hack computers. The streaming sites themselves are also riddled with malware and pornography.
lol the arguments they try to use. oh noes not the tax avoiders and porn banners

I suppose it's possible he really is a libertarian but if the cops take your computer they are going to find something on it, if you know what I mean.

Some guy on SA was designing a sports streaming rig, it was bananas. I guess you can't just colocate or rent a server, so they had to DIY. Super cut budget, they were using arduinos and raspis to manage multiple RAID arrays and dude designed a USB comm bus
