U.S. shuts 16 sports piracy websites pre-Super Bowl

Pirates shutting down piracy ~ that's so oxymoronic(~)...

Ain't that the truth lol

Man I know the dude from HQ, I hope he is ok...
This is so sick real criminals attacking those that are not in the gangster crowd...

Yea, im not seeing how there now just starting to shut everything down they dont like now. I mean they didnt pass SOPA or PIPA unless it was secretly done anyway...

Funny it is the site that gets posted here all the time...

just goes to show you shit like SOPA and PIPA and ACTA and whatever the hell else you want to call it makes ZERO difference whether it passes or not. that's all for the show to make you feel like you're included.

Nice little bullshit system we have here isnt it?

^^THIS^^

Not true...ACTA is not only about internet.Patents that is the real deal!but still...you are right about the show for sheep crowd;)

Look around things are not as they appear.

WTF are my tax dollars doing protecting corporate interests?

Those same corporations are exhonerated from paying high taxes and they use our tax dollars to protect their interests with the DHS?

Is this a matter of national security?


Jesus fucking h christ our government has gotten way the fuck out of hand.

dam firstrow is gone, i do not give a fuck about the football, but now my hockey games are gone, fuck fuck fuck

This is really silly considering he was just streaming from other websites. That would be like GLP getting shut down for YouTube videos. So I assume they are going to shut down Justin.tv next? Not likely.

Not the governments job. its the states job. ILLEGAL.

Don't give up so easy my friend.

"According to the government, the 16 websites provided links to give viewers easy access to other sites that hosted pirated telecasts from the National Football League, National Basketball Association, National Hockey League, World Wrestling Entertainment Inc ("WWE") and TNA Impact Wrestling. The latter is also broadcast on Viacom Inc's Spike TV.

Prosecutors said such piracy costs leagues and broadcasters millions of dollars a year, and some of this cost is passed on to ticket buyers and sports network subscribers."

WAAAAA!

Seriously, as the world falls to shit and most people are scraping by with rent, heat/electricity and food. These people/corporations have the balls to complain that their losing "millions of dollars a year".

Sorry WWE (33 degrees Counter-Clockwise) you'll have to find $ through a bailout like every other parasitic corporation...

This is the kicker right here. They are going after a site that merely embedded video streams from OTHER SITES. How is that different that posting a YouTube video on a forum??

According to this article the streams are still out there, you just have to find another site that links you to them.

make that 307 sites: wired.com/threatlevel/2012/02/sports-domains-seized/

from one of the comments:

little known fact, the operation was originally called `superbowl showdown` but the NFL filed a suit against the FBI for IP infringement.

You know the Patriot Act makes this legal, as it's considered terrorism to hurt the U.S. Economy... Since it's like that, why isn't O'bama considered a terrorist??

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!




anyone have any working hockey streams!

The tyranny of Obama never sleeps.

Yes I'm sure as president of the fucking country that tv superbowl piracy was on the top of his agenda.

not that i can think of many greater forms of brainwashing than organised sports...

however this is a national game, it belongs to the PEOPLE not private leagues. its an american game, its the people's game pay-per-view shit on this game is public theft.

I thought he was a socialist liberal commie, or something like that all for power to the poor and disenfranchised (pun intended)little guy who can't afford a ticket to the Super Bowl.

Now he's acting like a nazi conservative corporate shill?

Hard to keep up with the labels.

Woot!! Love you OP.....!!!

Stuporbowl...wooot! I want my MTV....I mean bread and circus

You need a lobotomy.....

Tyrants like Obama strike at liberty whenever an opportunity is presented to them. You're just too much of a sheep to comprehend what's occurring. Go back to watching American Idol.
