Re: Can You Be Sued For Simply Watching An Illegal Video Stream?
With the UFC being an American based production, I would imgine these threats are being aimed at U.S 'viewers'.
I've heard it said that watching a stream is legal, it's the people supplying the stream that are breaking the law. If I were to go to a mates house and, for example, let's say he had a hacked set-top box, would I be breaking the law for watching the TV feed!? I doubt it, would he, yes clearly.
