Prosecutions expected as EFL clamps down on Stoke City pirate streams
ByPeter Smith Stoke City reporter, 15 NOV 2020
Prosecutions are expected as the EFL clamps down on pirate streams involving Stoke City matches.
Stoke are showing most games Championship and cup games this season live on its own website for a £10 charge, with others broadcast on Sky Sports, and its audience of about 7,500 is a crucial revenue stream at a time when there are no gate receipts.
But other websites are showing the action illegally – and the EFL is getting ready to take on the offenders in court.
...
“But it was discussed widely at the EFL meeting about the amount of piracy there is, where websites are putting on the games illegally.
“That damages the football club. The income from official streams does goes directly to the football clubs so anyone who is using pirate sites, clearly that’s diverting money away from clubs at a time when we have no other income.”
He added: “The EFL is clamping down on that and people will be prosecuted.”

You realise that if you watch something that you’re not legally allowed to, then that makes you a thief ?

Simple
I'm sure JR can get by without my £10 every week for now.... As soon as crowds get back in me and the lad will be back paying at the turnstiles don't panic

I didn't get in until the match was 10 mins in and then immediately froze. So I didn't see the match. After contacting the efl the response was dismissive and unhelpful, the only comment from them was that no refund or credit would be given as the terms and conditions.
I logged on for the Forest green game and payed my £10 at 2.30pm a blank screen appeared and continued until just before half time!!!!
I abandoned the whole thing.
Unfortunately for the club i want be logging onto ifollow in the future.
Is this the new way people steal copywrite material in the modern world?bellwhiff wrote:Gazmoose82 wrote:Just because I don't pay for the games doesn't make me any the less of a supporter than you.... Just don't see the point in paying out my hard earned cash when I don't have to.

It’s not about me. It’s not about being a super fan or not.
It’s about you stealing and denying income to the club. JR might have a few quid, but does that mean you can steal from the club ? You’re a reason why clubs are struggling.
Thief.

Back in the 70's and 80's people used to tape music off the radio to cassette during the chart run down rather than buy it from Syd Booth's or Our Price Records.
In the 80's and 90's people used to back up VHS tapes of films using double VHS decks or connecting two machines together and copy computer games from cassette or floppy disc (C64, Spectrum, Amiga etc)
In the 90's people got games machines chipped (Playstation 1) so they would accept copied games on CD or DVD.
In the 90's and 00's CD's and DVD's could be copied or ripped using PC's or bought via local markets.
In the 00's and 10's films and music could easily be downloaded from the internet via torrent sites or copied direct from streaming services like YouTube.
Although not condoning it the above were rife back in the day. How many of us can honestly say they have never stolen copywrite material or made a compilation tape for their girlfriend or boyfriend?? I am in this group of people who have done this and other people will have too who would be disgusted at the idea of robbing a store or individual of their physical goods). I would guess if everyone is honest when thinking back and indicate their actions that the ones that have never done such things are very much in the minority?
