I know everyone is trying to be helpful posting streams for games but I genuinely think this needs to be done by pm only. Increasingly streams are being closed down mainly because some put them up all over the place, Facebook twitter here and other forums. There’s only a handful of streams at best for any game and if we’re not more responsible about promoting them, none of us will have anything to watch. I’m not having a go at anyone as it’s all done with best of intentions but far more care is required.

Speaking personally I prefer utube streams which I get on my phone and then play through my tv
Not being a tech wizard I like simple things and will not download anything which I don’t trust which is most things
Utube suits me fine only problem is if we get one it only usually lasts for the first half
I have no problem with a pm sounds a good idea to me :emoticon-0100-smile

Yeah, its a difficult one.

On one hand there's a better chance that that the game will continue if we don't share it, but it also is a little elitist as we're hiding he hiding from other Leeds fans.

There's no wrong or right answer..

One thing we could do is:-

You must log in or register to see media

The reason why I'm hesitant not to hide the link is that every poster of the game advertises themselves on the stream as the person who has created it, by giving a link to their own twitter page

You’re not hiding it though if available by pm. Otherwise nobody ends up with the full game which is pointless I believe
 
You got to be signed in as a user on not606 to see links and pictures and I don't think one of our own would report it <ok>

Greetings from Malaga & a few spare moments in the port.

I don't have a problem with a PM group, especially if lurkers can't see the links anyway (so no disloyalty to any punters). My point is that when you're in a hurry looking for links, it can take forever to plough through the match page. You mess about trying a link, only to find it doesn't work - as you'll get told 10 posts down the thread. I thin kit's a great idea to PM the links to a group of known active posters who have requested to be on the list. That way, if you get in late, you go to the latest PM to find out what's actually working. Keeps the match day thread cleaner too.

Thoughts? (Might not be here to reply, right enough :) ).

Some great points raised. Especially regarding hunting for links in the match day thread.

One ex member told Matt via twitter he had reported the stream he was posting, could have been hit air but the threat is there

Point is ristac the links could be innocently linked elsewhere. Someone here could post it anywhere if they’re not aware of the risks to everyone viewing

Will I be prosecuted for watching football matches online in this way?

It is unlikely that the football authorities would pursue cases against individuals who watch games in this manner, with the more desirable avenue to bring claims directly against the file sharing sites through the ISPs. Indeed, in 2014, the Court of Justice of the European Union ruled that internet users who watch copyrighted material online aren’t breaking the law by doing so. However, despite the fact that a claim may not be brought against you, participating in such a site leaves your computer open to viruses and may have adverse effects on the very sport which you wish to watch.
 
Eire has a great point and think a closed group is a great idea. There are some regular guys on twitter who have packed it in because too many are piling in and it goes public in minutes. These guys then take abuse and have decided to not do it anymore except to a closed group. I wont use facebook so not in the loop now

Eire unfortunately there are people who have shared links after being told not to, which results in them being shut down.<wah>
