First Row Sports -- Gone

Wow...you sound like a Republican.

Hey, the lefties agreed with this too!!

If these sites are out there, go ahead and use them. Just know that you are stealing content.

My point is that it's hypocritical for someone to bemoan the US Government when they shut these sites down for sharing stolen content.

It hypocritical for the U.S. gov't to spend millions in tax payer resources to be an enforcer for media conglomerates. If you don't think there is anything wrong with it, then you're just out of touch.

ESPN etc. don't make their content available everywhere. For example, sites like these are the only way my friends can follow 'Cuse sports while traveling overseas. Not to mention the fact that ESPN3 is not available to a large portion of the U.S. because they have no choice of cable subscription (due to monopolies) who again make the U.S. government enforce stupid copyright laws.

The only people who actually use the word "steal" to refer to COPYING bits information are either 50+ yr people who have little clue about the internet, or republican shills on corporate media payroll.

How amazing would it be if you could only pay for the channels you wanted to subscribe to? Not many people watch more than 10-15 channels anyways, and I don't care if I can't get the Oxygen network or Lifetime.

If you have a PS3, the Sunday Ticket is available through that now. Same price as DirecTV I believe. No idea how high quality the streaming is, but it's an option.

Of course it is because I have XBOX 360. My main point is, why all the exclusive deals that limit the distribution? Reduce the exclusive contract amounts, but open it to every outlet under bilateral agreements and potentially make even more money that way.

Maybe there just isn't the demand for out of market games that I think there is to make it worth the effort.

In the mid 2000s, it was estimated that 90 percent of the movies, music and software sold in China was pirated.

Read the entire article and you will discover you are using counterfeit items and aren't even aware of it. Most of these items are done so professionally that you are unable to tell they are counterfeit.

ahh, that was my last shot at being able to watch games at the office.. The Europe site is blocked at work.. I guess its back to making up appts to get home in time for the game lol

Not saying it will work or will be fast enough but Google 'tor browser' its a free portable browser (no installation necessary) and tool to get around your corporate firewall. also used for anonymous internet browsing. there are also high speed proxies u can pay for that are private that would allow access to things like espn3 streaming. Then there are other free easy ways Like remote desktop. everyone on this board knows someone with ESPN3 access. Just be creative or if ur clueless about this ask a friend ir pm me.

Worst case scenario go to the damn Bar and spread the SU RHETORIC WORLDWIDE! Bars are cool, I promise!

The whole system is so flawed with these monopolies determining what we can and cannot do, and the puppets who just accept it. It's just like the ridiculousness of the video game platforms now, you have a PS3, I have a Xbox 360 we both have 2k12, and both games can be played online, but anyone you want to play has to have the same platform as you. Or a game that you can only get on one like "Infamous". They make it to the point that you will sit there and seriously think about buying another console just so you can play with ya friends online, or just to play that one game. Just plain GREED.

I used first row for Knicks games after the Time Warner contract with MSG went south. They were OK but the adds were annoying. Apple warned me not to down load from their site...
