The end of live streaming in the UK?

Sad news if they succeed....

I guess someone somewhere will find a way round it.
Toby?

 

ways and means no doubt

 

If you use Chrome or Firefox, you can download ZenMate, Browsec or Hola - they each hide your IP address & allow you to bypass the blocks.

 

Are they free to download?

 

I can see the headlines now "Heartless, unscrupulous Watford fans seek to destroy Premier League through encouraging illegal streaming of matches"

 

You forgot the "5 managers in a year" bit!

 

Yes - they are just extensions. If you knew how, you could look and see that I am apparently typing this in Germany...

Apparently it's not illegal though - that's the thrust of the appeal lodged by the Spanish company who are being blocked. They claim the right to operate in the UK. The USA did the same to them, but lost in court.

How many times do we have to repeat this - they are not managers, they are Head Coaches?

 

Nothing is blocked on the internet

To be fair there are so many streaming sites that the ISPs are fighting a losing battle. Politicians are clueless when it comes to the internet, which is why you see this ridiculous new laws coming out every week...

The Tories (my personal views aren't relevant) have been trying pretty hard since DC took over to ruin the internet, thankfully there are armies of nerds out there who will fight with tooth and nail to stop them, and they're the ones that know what they're talking about

 

<relief>

 

The republicans will decimate access in the US if they get in next term which is highly likely. The religious right are especially licking their chops...

 

Thanks for that.

I have been paying a small donation to someone for 4 years to get a decent proxy. I will have to try some of these out to see just how good they are and hopefully be able to dump the existing one.
