Illegal Streaming Costs Sports Billions, Leagues Want Swift Action
frontofficesports.com
The NFL, NBA, and UFC have sent a joint letter to the US Patent and Trademark Office asking for faster takedowns of illegal streaming.

The leagues are trying to shut down illegal streams. Do you guys think this could be detrimental to free sports streaming? I really hope not.

      If I forget my ad blocker or anything, the moment I see an ad on YouTube and I see “ad x/3” with like a 30-60s timer on it I just close the tab and move on. Fuck ads.

        Yeah. I was once installing Linux, and decided to open firefox in the live environment and watch a video on YT. Ads. Close tab. Reopen tab. Ads again. Fk it, installed Ublock Origin in the live environment and just watched the video. No ads.
