English Premier League: Third of Fans Watch Illegal Streams


The BBC reported the following:

More than a third of Premier League football fans say they regularly watch matches live online via unofficial streams, according to a BBC survey.

The poll suggests younger adults are most likely to say they stream matches via unauthorised providers.

Nearly a quarter of all fans surveyed regularly watch matches online via special technology, such as Kodi boxes.

Sky and BT Sport hold the live rights for Premier League football, and unofficial streams are illegal.

The Premier League says the law is catching up with pirates and that it will continue to protect its copyright.

Is This Really So Bad?


When 1/3 of people are watching free live streams, this is a good indicator that your product is vastly overpriced.

On the up side. At least people who can't afford to watch paid Premiere League games, get to see the advertising via unauthorised free live streams.

This means unauthorised free live streams do have monitory value for the premier league. So stop moaning and stop being so greedy!

Where's All the Money?







Sort:  

I would say football is also totally rigged!
