Taylor4Life Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 The federal government has seized the Web addresses of ten websites that allegedly live stream sporting and pay-per-view events online, shutting them down just days before one of the biggest televised sporting events of the year: the Super Bowl. The U. S. Attorney’s Office of the Southern District of New York, working in conjunction with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, seized the Web addresses Tuesday. The seizure affidavit was unsealed Wednesday. The websites, which include channelsurfing.net and Spain-based rojadirecta.org, were said to illegally provide access to content from the major professional sports organizations, namely the National Football League, National Basketball Association and the National Hockey League. The sites do not host the pirated sporting content themselves, but instead provide links to other websites where people can access it illegally.

SonOfWashington Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Besides, there's no way you can't watch the Super Bowl somewhere. You could walk into any building in America and likely find it on a television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadExField Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 so when I hear them say that this year's Super Bowl had the highest number of viewers in Super Bowl History, I'll get an idea why lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
