"Broadcasting Premier League matches on a pay-per-view basis will lead to fans watching on illegal streams, says a football finance expert."
And anyone with any common sense whatsoever.

Are they noticing this now? Literally every matchday tweet we put out has people advertising their dodgy streams in it, which is more obvious in matches we're winning as the usual lurkers are very, very quiet for some reason

And since I'm here...

This also underlines how nobody seems to have noticed the direct correlation between having more platforms leads to a dramatic increase in piracy. Case in point, five years ago when Netflix was king of the streaming services there was some piracy but, by and large, people were content to pay their £10 a month to alleviate their FOMO - but now we have *deep breath* Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple TV, BritBox, HBO Max, Curzon Home Cinema, Acorn TV, Shudder, Disney Über Alles and countless other apps, which has seen piracy skyrocket, which is good news for Plex since that's the app that lets you watch all your legally (wink, wink) downloaded shows all on one app with no FOMO at all

That's a biggie.
Given the shambles over Trump and Bidens, hard to
have lfaith in the bias and competence of the USA
judicial system.

I wonder the intent is to fling mud and see what sticks,
with the threat of prison to force a "plea deal" for
some conviction.

Anyway, attack via legal costs is off the table.

I wonder what kind of excuses the ENIC IN brigade and anti change mob will come up with this time, they have been preaching to us for years about how squeaky clean and whiter than white our owners are.

1. I doubt you can find anyone here who has
argued on a "whiter than white" basis. You
will however find those who have argued on
a "lesser of two evils" basis, with ENIC being
a far lesser evil than the PL Sugga Daddy FCs.

And on the morality front, if Uncle Joe is convicted, would you :

- consider his crimes to be less/equal/worse than the
effects of "Black wednesday"

- deem the 'evil gap' to aforementioned owners to
be the same, or much closer


2. Are there a lot who think exactly as you do, Billy ??
(askng if there is a case for 'ENIC derangement syndrome'
to enter the public lexicon) .

Realistically, what the SEC do is go after the occasional whale to make it look like they're cracking down on insider trading, but it's all a show because
a.) They won't touch Elon Musk with a thirty foot pole in spite his various dodgy dealings, not least his blatant manipulation of Tesla's stock price where he tanks it by acting like an edgelord dickhead and then buys it cheaper to solidify his position
b.) More often than not they dole out little more than a slap on the wrist, for example last year they made a big song and dance about dragging Joe Edelman's hedge fund for failing to disclose SPAC contracts, which falls within the SEC definition of insider trading. The end result? Edelman was fined $1.5m, which is basically the SEC equivalent of a UEFA FFP fine
