New High Court Blocking Order:Illegal Premier Streams

[Yid4life]

It can't be long before you will be able to get a subscription for all of your own teams games. Once Amazon and Netflix join the party in earnest. I'm sure they would be more than happy to negotiate a stand alone deal with Man U etc.

I'd do £5 a month for all Spurs games although I only need the aways!

you'd hope it would be just around the corner but this is the premier league we are talking about, the current model is making teams obscenely rich beyond their wildest dreams... then you have to factor in the premier leagues complete lack of fecks given towards embracing modern media, for example it's still the only major league on the planet to not upload highlights to youtube or to even have a youtube channel... they are actively against promoting the brand this way.

Yes mate. I watch NFL highlights of the team I follow on YouTube the next day.

Stupid 'kers couldn't learn from the recording industry and their massive failure to control the MP3 era...keep losing money fighting a battle you can't win, ya' clowns.

Well, they're already going down the subscription based services the music industry went down

Sky, BT, beIN Sport all have subscription based streaming for sports. Amazon will be coming in next season.

It's gonna be tough but unless the FA/FIFA allow that games at 3pm can be screened, you'll get the clamp down.

Exactly.

There's just too much money that keeps getting bigger every year and I think a big part is the fact they have restrictions in place.

The minute it goes more accessible, more instant, the worry is the price will go down as it's over saturated

 

[Toffe3m4n]

My regular stream is still going strong 5 seasons on. I'd honestly be lost without it.

There's also the fear of what it could do to gate receipts on a Saturday. How much money do the clubs currently get for being broadcast in the USA & UAE through ESPN & BeIN? is it rolled up with the Sky stuff as it's their pictures?

I’m having no issues, but there does seem to be fewer streamers - a few seem to be geolocking their streams too.

That's why it's still a rule.

It's a cycle really. Im sure clubs can now survive without selling match tickets but this is due to the tv money.

 

[Kenshin]

It will be said every year.

If the premier League offered a package to be able to pay for every single game each week there will be no need to pirate it to such a large extent in this country.

Bit like cannibis.....

£5 a month? I wish.

More likely to be £5 per 45 minutes.

I would very much welcome this as an fan who does not live in the country and cannot get to games but as a non league fan also, I wonder how much something that allows televising 3pm kick offs legally would affect lower league football. We suffer enough from apathy from fans who prefer to sit there watching soccer saturday than getting down to their local club and watching live football.

New threat to TV block on Saturday 3pm games
Saturday matches from Spain streamed live in UK
Martyn Ziegler, Chief Sports Reporter

Radrizzani, the Leeds United chairman who owns Eleven Sports, vowed to keep defying the ban MIKE EGERTON/PA

English football is facing a challenge from the top league in Spain over its traditional blackout of televised matches at 3pm on Saturday. La Liga chiefs say that they are supporting a bid to stream Spanish games live in Britain on Saturday afternoons.

The Premier League has protested to the FA, which has taken the matter up with Uefa, although it has yet to lodge an official complaint. Eleven Sports, which holds the British rights for La Liga and Italy’s Serie A, has ignored the blackout on the past two Saturdays and has said that it will carry on doing so.

The Saturday block has been forced by the FA since the 1950s and is designed to protect attendances and to encourage amateur players whose matches kick off at that traditional time. The closed period is between 2.45pm and 5.15pm on a Saturday. Two years ago, Ofcom, the broadcast regulator, decided against ending the blackout. Now a legal battle is looming.

Joris Evers, La Liga’s chief communications officer, told The Times: “This type of blackout doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. It’s from a different age. We are aware of what Eleven Sports are doing and generally support them.

“People are used to watching things whenever and wherever they take place, on whatever devices they like. Today many people watch football in other ways, through piracy or video feeds or betting companies. And there are other sports like rugby that are screened at that time on a Saturday.”

Uefa authorises “blocked hours” by national associations under article 48 of its statutes, but only England, Scotland and Montenegro have such rules in force.

Andrea Radrizzani, the Leeds United chairman who owns Eleven Sports, vowed to keep defying the ban. The biggest effect on attendances is likely to be felt next month when a Real Madrid match is due to be broadcast.

“The rule should be reconsidered,” Radrizzani said. “There are betting websites which are showing the game live while we legitimately paid for the rights but cannot show it, according to law 48. Also, there are many illegal sites and pirates that we should fight against. So I would love to open a conversation, in a friendly way, to find a solution.

“I would also like to understand why this is competing with ticket sales in UK stadiums. Why not the Tour de France or other events that happen at the same time live on TV?”

Radrizzani said that he was in discussions with Serie A about showing Italian games during the blackout, too.
An FA spokesman said: “We are aware of the matter and are looking into it through the appropriate channels.” A Premier League spokesman said: “Along with other English football stakeholders, the Premier League continues to support the closed period to encourage attendances and participation through the football pyramid.”
