Not sure if you are joking, but you bumped this old thread just to brag about it so I will take your word for it. First, if you ratted out a murderer, rapist, pedophile, thief, credit card fraud criminal, crimes of that sort, i'd applaud your bragging post. I mean you put an illegal streamer in jail, that's not somrthing that deserves a pat on the back. Unless you work directly with these cable companies and i'm your higher up, I would be proud. But yeah if you are just a normal guy, that was pretty gay. And I don't even watch illegal streams.

Not sure if serious, but if you are then that's just sad.
Fu**ing copyright law, it doesn't make sense anymore. Boxing Guru isn't stealing anything.
Isn't it coincidence that when HBO and Top Rank took the down all the streaming sites for copyright infringement and that Top Rank can only provide internet streaming, they charge $60 no different when order PPV through your cable provider.
This is why copyright law needs to be either drastically reduced or abolished, personally I prefer the latter.
ppv is bad for the networks. ross greenburg is not an unbiased source for that sort of information.
ppv is great for the top fighters and promotors. they f#cking love that sh#t.
This is how it's gonna be if we let it.
PPVs how it's gonna go my friends - and you'll be told it's cos of the milllions who streamed (for fights they never could or would have paid for anyway) - reality? The price of fights is deliberately being driven upwards to the point where any other format will become unsustainable...
The terrn eminence grise coulda been coined for a particular individual in the boxing business today and he ain't a boxer.
You think it can't happen? Go ask the OZ fans who Rupert Murdoch is and what it's like to try to watch boxing there.
nutjob was the greatest streaming website of all time, oh well on to cricfree.tv now. if the cops think this will stop streaming sites they dont have a fu$in clue
The only way for them to stop it is to scare people into not doing it. That would mean things like giving stream providers double life sentences or detaining people indefinitely using anti-terrorism legislation. And that is definitely not an unrealistic prospect given recent trends.
In the end I think you're probably right though. The technical challenge of doing it and the thrill of getting away with it will always appeal to the guys smart enough to do it. They can't jail them all.
I remember they jailed someone for twitter comments, UK likes to harass its people.
I hope the Guru gets out of it clean.
Larryx would currently be doing time for his twitter comments if he were from the UK.
I miss cable descramblers...I got every ppv free from like 1995 through 2003. Damn fibre optics. People were stealing PPVs domestically long before streaming.
Buying PPVs doesn't help the sport. PPVs are a bad thing for boxing and there's really no argument in favour of them. If everyone streamed PPV fights the sport would actually be better off.
"I can't tell you that pay-per-view helps the sport because it doesn't. It hurts the sport because it narrows our audience, but it's a fact of life. Every time we try to make an HBO World Championship Boxing fight, we're up against mythical pay-per-view numbers." - Ross Greenburg, former president of HBO Sports.
